Diagnosis. Males of Tenedos barronus ( Chamberlin, 1925) , resemble those of T. hoeferi Jocqué & Baert, 2002 , by having exceptionally developed conductor (C) curved at prolateral side; short, conical retrolateral tibial apophysis (RTA) (see Jocqué & Baert, 2002: 87, 100, figs 10A–B; 18B–C; figs 12A–D; 13A–B; 14A–F), but can be recognized by bifid median apophysis, anterior branch (aMA) thin, procurved, apically filiform, posterior branch (pMA) very short ( Figs 12A–D View FIGURE 12 ; 13A–B View FIGURE 13 ; 14A–F View FIGURE 14 ). Females are similar to those of T. hoeferi Jocqué & Baert, 2002 and T. quadrangulatus Jocqué & Baert, 2002 , by long seminal receptacles (SR) curved towards median septum; sub-quadrangular-shaped atrium (A), posteriorly delimited (see Jocqué & Baert, 2002: 87, 100, 116, figs 10C–D, 18D–E, 33A–B; figs 12E–F; 13C–D), but can be distinguished by the shape of the median field plate (MFP), wider than long, slightly bilobed at posterior edge; elliptic-shaped atrium ( Figs 12E–F View FIGURE 12 ; 13C–D View FIGURE 13 ).

Description. Male (MPUJ_ENT 0062001). Coloration ( Fig. 12A–B View FIGURE 12 ): carapace light brown with wide dark brown stripes on lateral margins, narrowing towards cephalic region, and two dark brown and short coma-shaped spots on cephalic region. Chelicerae brown with dark paturon base, fangs brown-reddish. Endites light brown, white on anterior region. Labium and sternum light brown. Legs: coxae I–IV light yellow. Femora and patellae I–IV light brown. Tibia, metatarsi and tarsi I-II yellow, III–IV light brown. Abdomen: dorsally dark gray with eight white guanine spots organized as follows: two small and rounded, followed by two larger than previous ones, anteriorly positioned; two rounded spots and larger than previous ones, medially positioned; two transversal and wide bands, posteriorly positioned, anterior one very thin. Laterally with wide longitudinal white band. Ventrally gray with two pale oblique stripes very wide, occupying almost all abdomen superficies. Spinnerets light brown. Measurements: total length 4.65, carapace length 2.33, width 1.53, height 0.95. Clypeus height 0.51.

Palp: retrolateral process of cymbium (RPC) wide with external edge rounded; tegulum (T) rounded, almost as wide as long; subtegulum (St) longer than wide, external edge rounded and membranous with small ventral protuberance, as long as subtegulum length in ventral view; conductor (C) developed, wide, slightly curved in prolateral side, with some modifications on basal side such and furrows and small granules, long, thin sclerotized region on distal side; appendix (ApC) long and apically sharp, surpassing in anterior side with small projection; embolus (E) very long, forming prolateral arc, laminar at base, filiform towards apex; base of embolus (EB) approximately as long as two times basal tegular membrane; basal tegular membrane (BTM) short, apically rounded; spermatic ducts (SD) S-shaped, anterior fold closed, wide, posterior fold open, thin; ventral tibial apophysis (VTA) short, apically straight; median apophysis (MA) large, bifid, anterior branch (aMA) long, recurved, posterior branch (pMA) reduced to small appendix; retrolateral tibial apophysis (RTA) conical almost as long as palpal tibia, sub-triangular, apically acuminated ( Figs 12A–D View FIGURE 12 ; 13A–B View FIGURE 13 ; 14A–F View FIGURE 14 ).
