Etymology. The specific name is a patronymic honoring Enrique Sanchez Rodriguez, the first author’s father.

Diagnosis. Males of N. enriquei n. sp. resembles those of N. armandoi n. sp. by the large tegulum reaching or exceeding the palpal tibia length but are readily recognized by having an elongated palpal tibia, two times the patella length ( Fig. 11 View FIGURE 11 B–C), and by the embolus projecting from the prolateral distal surface of the tegulum ( Fig. 14A View FIGURE 14 ), with the keel bordering the tip and very short projections ( Fig. 14 View FIGURE 14 D–F).

Carapace orange-brown with weakly dorsal pattern ( Fig. 11E View FIGURE 11 ). Chelicerae, palps, sternum orangish brown, endites, labium pale brown ( Fig. 11F View FIGURE 11 ), and legs orange-brown ( Fig. 11D View FIGURE 11 ); coxae and trochanters lighter. Abdomen pale gray, dorsal pattern unnoticeable ( Fig. 11A View FIGURE 11 ). Anal tubercle and spinnerets lighter than abdomen. Palp with a globose oval tegulum ( Fig. 11 View FIGURE 11 B–C) and an embolus with the keel bordering the tip and very short projections ( Fig. 14 View FIGURE 14 D–F).
