Etymology. The specific name is a noun in apposition from the provenance of one of the paratypes, from the type locality, Uruguaiana, State of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil.

Diagnosis. Males of A. itapitocai resemble those of A. vilhena ( Fig. 73 A View FIGURE 73 ), A. nattereri ( Fig. 63 A View FIGURE 63 ), A. itaqui ( Fig. 89 A View FIGURE 89 ) and A. caxiuana ( Fig. 98 A View FIGURE 98 ) by the bluishgray color on the dorsal abdomen. Males differ from those species by this pattern been reduced to a spot on anterior third ( Fig. 79 A View FIGURE 79 ); they resemble those of A. vilhena ( Fig. 75 View FIGURE 75 A–C), A. harveyi ( Fig. 78 View FIGURE 78 A–C), A. nattereri ( Fig. 67 View FIGURE 67 A–C), A. xingu ( Fig. 94 View FIGURE 94 A–C) and A. utinga ( Fig. 103 View FIGURE 103 A–C) by the BTA being displaced dorsally in relation to a middle longitudinal line along the prolateral tegular surface ( Fig. 83 View FIGURE 83 A–B); they resemble those of A. harveyi , A. vilhena , A. itaqui ( Fig. 91 View FIGURE 91 A–C), A. xingu and A. utinga by PA contiguous to PI in prolateral view. They differ from those of all other species included in the group nattereri by PS and PI reaching only 30–35% of embolus, as seen on dorsal view; PAc totally covered by PI on dorsal view; and tegulum with a depression on retrolateral surface ( Fig. 83 View FIGURE 83 A–C). Females resemble those of A. ipioca ( Fig. 88 D View FIGURE 88 ) by the bilobed receptacles, with the outer lobe being higher than the inner lobe and differs from those A. ipioca by the pore distribution reaching the border between the basal membrane and receptaces, and by the subquadrate receptacles ( Fig. 83 D View FIGURE 83 )
