Etymology. The specific name is a noun in apposition derived from the type locality name.

Diagnosis. Males of Actinopus obidos differ from those of almost all other species of the genus by the absence of PAc and from those of A. fractus ( Fig. 21 View FIGURE 21 A–C) by the undeveloped PA and by the position of BTA, placed medially on the tegular prolateral surface, and from A. buritiensis ( Fig. 29 View FIGURE 29 A–C) by the wider tegulum, with less conspicuous BTA ( Fig. 26 View FIGURE 26 A–C). Females differ from all others species by the single spermathecae, strongly fused to base, with pore distribution widespread through basal membrane ( Fig. 26 D View FIGURE 26 ).

Without bristles between AMEclypeus. One short and weak bristle between ALE–PLE and 16 short and weak bristles between posterior eyesfovea. Sternum with eight sigilla fused medially and strongly demarcated, two distal sigilla more fused than others ( Fig. 22 C View FIGURE 22 ). Rastellum protuberant, inverted V-shaped, hirsute, without spines apically ( Fig. 22 View FIGURE 22 E–F). Chelicerae with four denticles along prolateral row of teeth. Prolateral row with six megateeth and one denticle between two basal megateeth. Retrolateral row with five megateeth and one denticle between two basal megateeth ( Fig. 22 C View FIGURE 22 ). Patella and tibia III with distal crown of well-developed thorns, not interrupted in middle ( Fig. 23 View FIGURE 23 A–B). Patellae III and IV with spines on prolaterodorsal face ( Fig. 23 A, C View FIGURE 23 ).
