Etymology. The epithet is a noun in apposition that honors one of the four supreme rulers of the Muisca Confederation, ancient inhabitants of the central Andean highlands of the present-day Colombia’s Eastern Range: the Zipa , the Zaque , the Iraca and the Tundama .

Diagnosis. Males of A. zipa sp. nov. are similar to those of A. tundama sp. nov by the shape of the RTA, the presence of basal widening of the embolus (bwe), and the absence of a dorsal tibial spur (DTS) in the palp. However, they can be distinguished from those by the curved and longer embolus, the presence of a bilobed process on the embolic disc (PED), the presence of a proventral and proximal femoral widening (PvFw, black arrow in Figs 15a View FIGURES 15 , 23g View FIGURES 23 ), and a pointed basal widening of the embolus (bwe) ( Figs 15a–b View FIGURES 15 , 23f–g View FIGURES 23 ). Females of A. zipa sp. nov. are similar to those of A. tundama sp. nov. by the general disposition of the internal structures of the epigyne, but can be recognized for the their longer copulatory ducts, larger spermathecae, and the absence of the bilobed medial and posterior pocket in the epigyne ( Figs 15c–d View FIGURES 15 , 25f, 25l View FIGURES 25 ).

Description. Male (holotype). Total length: 2.96. Carapace brown, 1.47 long, 0.72 wide, 0.92 high ( Fig. 19c View FIGURES 19 ). OC black, 0.83 long.

Palp brown with long white hairs on patella and tibia, with slender and curved RTA, a proventral and proximal femoral widening (PvFw), presence of basal widening of the embolus, bilobed PED and a straight TL ( Figs 15a–b View FIGURES 15 ). Legs 4312, all yellow with dark brown marks.

Female (paratype). Total length 3.78. Carapace dark brown, 1.71 long, 1.24 wide, 0.78 high ( Fig. 19d View FIGURES 19 ). OC black, 0.81 long. Anterior eye row 1.16 wide and posterior 1.09 wide. Sternum yellow, 0.67 long, 0.54 wide. Labium yellow, 0.11 long, 0.23 wide. Chelicerae yellowish, with four retromarginal and two promarginal teeth.

Legs 4312, all yellow. Leg macrosetae: femur, II–IV d 1 di; patellae, III r 1 me; tibiae, I v 2-2 -2; II v 2-2 -2, p 1 di; III–IV v 1 pr, p 1-1, r 1-1; metatarsus, I v 2-2; II v 2-2, p 1 di; III–IV v 1 -0-1, p 1-0-2, r 1-0-2. Abdomen gray with a dark brown reticulated pattern of marks, and transversal lighter stripes ( Fig. 19d View FIGURES 19 ). Epigyne ( Figs 15c–d View FIGURES 15 , 25f, 25l View FIGURES 25 ) with anterior copulatory openings, a posterior single medial pocket, long copulatory ducts and rounded spermathecae.
