Type material. Male holotype from Parque Estadual do Rio Doce, 19º39'31"S 42º34'32"W, Timóteo, Minas Gerais, Brazil, 20.VII.2010, B.T. Faleiro, deposited in UFMG (4931). Paratypes: Brazil. Minas Gerais: Timóteo (Parque Estadual do Rio Doce) 19º39'30.6"S 42º34'28.2"W, 1 female, 22. II.2011, B.T. Faleiro ( UFMG 10695); 19º39'31"S 42º34'28"W, 1 female, 20.VII.2010, B.T.

Etymology. The specific name is a noun in apposition, from the Brazilian expression “do balacobaco ”. This expression denotes that something is excellent and problably had a Bantu origin.

Diagnosis. Males of Corinna balacobaco n. sp. differ from those of other species with a small median projection on prolateral surface of RTA by the tapered apex of RTA, embolus short, bent in right angle and by the strongly sclerotized conductor ( Figs. 83–84 View FIGURES 83 – 88 ); females are readily recognized by the copulatory opening inserted in a ventral triangular epigynal projection ( Fig. 85 View FIGURES 83 – 88 ).
