Diagnosis. Males of Patrera ruber resemble those of P. dimar n. sp., by having a basal cymbial process ( Figs 2 C–D; 8C–D; Brescovit 1997: 147, figs 53–54), but can be distinguished by having small denticles on base of the embolus, extending to the apical region of the embolus and thin retrolateral tibial apophysis (wider in P. dimar ) ( Fig. 2 C–E). Females resemble those of P. dimar and P. perafani n. sp., by their shape of the ventral epigynal plate and large spermathecae ( Fig. 8 F–G; Brescovit, 1997: 146–147, 55–56), but can be distinguished by their larger and thinner hood (wider in P. dimar and P. perafani ), and lateral borders with a external notch on the anterolateral side (no notch in P. dimar ) ( Fig. 2 F–G).

Description: Male and female described by Brescovit, 1997: 35–36.

Distribution. Guatemala, Costa Rica, Colombia, Ecuador.
