Diagnosis. Ariadna isthmica is similar to A. boliviana , A. ipojuca n. sp. and A. gaucha n. sp. due to the morphology of male palp ( Figs 37A‒B View FIGURE 37 , 44A‒B View FIGURE44 , 58G‒H View FIGURE 58 , 61A‒B View FIGURE 61 ), metatarsi IV ( Figs 36F View FIGURE 36 , 43F View FIGURE 43 , 58F View FIGURE 58 , 60F View FIGURE 60 ), and leg macrosetae of females, but differ by the presence of sinuous metatarsi I, with both extremes equal in size and similarly bended; basal region prolaterally bended, and distal region retrolaterally ( Fig. 43C‒E View FIGURE 43 ); females differ from these species by the presence of a ventral lobe less sinuous ( Fig. 44C‒D View FIGURE44 ).

Description. Male (Paratype—Barro Colorado Island—AMNH). Carapace and chelicerae brownish orange ( Fig. 43A View FIGURE 43 ). Endites orange; labium dark orange. Sternum orange, with darker margins, and three pairs of fainted dark marginal areas ( Fig. 43B View FIGURE 43 ). Palps orange ( Fig. 44A‒B View FIGURE44 ). Legs brownish orange, pairs I‒II darker, with the femur, patella and tibia marbled with fainted dark pigment, and dark diffuse rings in the distal region of metatarsus ( Fig. 43C‒F View FIGURE 43 ). Abdomen grey, lighter ventrally ( Fig. 43A‒B View FIGURE 43 ). Total length 6.24; carapace 3.12 long, 2.32 wide. Palps: tibia incrassated, with the dorso-ventral diameter shorter than the bulb; bulb rounded, midportion shorter than the embolus and directed backwards; mid-portion/embolus transition conspicuous; embolus long and with a tubular tip ( Fig. 44A‒B View FIGURE44 ). Legs: slender and sparsely coated with setae ( Fig. 43C‒F View FIGURE 43 ); metatarsi IV sinuous, in lateral view ( Fig. 43F View FIGURE 43 ); tarsal brush of putative chemosensory setae present in legs II‒IV, extending to the median region of the metatarsi IV ( Fig. 43F View FIGURE 43 ). Leg formula: I-II-IV-III. Leg measurements: I, femur 3.0, patella 1.2, tibia 2.52, metatarsus 2.72, tarsus 0.72, total 10.16; II, 2.68, 1.12, 2.52, 2.72, 0.76, 9.8; III, 2.08, 0.96, 1.56, 1.68, 0.64, 6.92; IV, 2.4, 1.08, 1.88, 1.68, 0.64, 7.68.
