Type material. Male holotype from Campo de Provas Brigadeiro Velloso (-9.37333, -55.01944), Serra do Cachimbo, Novo Progresso, Pará, Brazil, 12.IX.2003, D.D. Guimar „es coll., deposited in MPEG ( ARA) 36742. GoogleMaps Three males and five females paratypes, same data as holotype, A.B. Bonaldo coll., deposited in MPEG ( ARA) 001723 GoogleMaps .

Etymology. The species name is a noun in apposition that honors the Kayapó indigenous people from the state of Pará. The term “Kayapó” is used by neighboring tribes rather than the Kayapó people themselves, and it means “those who look like monkeys”.

Diagnosis. Males of Bulboctenus kayapo sp. nov. are distinguished from those of the other species of the genus by the apical projection of the MA rounded and smooth, slightly differentiated from the rest of the MA ( Figs 10 View FIGURE 10 A–C, 15A–C), by the RTA wider than long (shorter), apically rounded and by the RCP swollen, well-developed (ventral view, Fig. 12A View FIGURE 12 ), while B. itunaitata sp. nov. and B. munduruku sp. nov. present smooth RCP, enlarged RTA and well differentiated apical projections of the MA ( Figs 12 View FIGURE 12 A–C, 14A–C, 16A–C, 17A–C). Females of Bulboctenus kayapo sp. nov. are distinguished from those of the other species of the genus by the lateral margins of the MS strongly excavated anteriorly, next to the copulatory openings ( Figs 10D View FIGURE 10 , 15D View FIGURE 15 ) and by the copulatory ducts touching anteriorly ( Fig. 10E View FIGURE 10 ), while B. itunaitata sp. nov. and B. munduruku sp. nov. present separated copulatory ducts and less excavated lateral margins of the MS ( Figs 12 View FIGURE 12 D–E, 14D–E, 16D–E, 17D–E).

Description. Male (MPEG(ARA)001712). Total length 6.67 ( Fig. 9A View FIGURE 9 ). Carapace 3.51 long, 2.81 wide. Clypeus 0.29 high. Eye diameters: AME 0.19, ALE 0.11, PME 0.27, PLE 0.28.

Leg spination: tibia I v2-2-2-2-2, r0, p1, II v2-2-2-2-2, r1, p1, III–IV v1-1-1-1 -2, r1-1, p1-1; metatarsus I v2-2-2, r0, p1, II v2-2-2, r1, p1, III v2-2-2, r1-1, p1-1, IV v1-1-1-1-2, r1 -1, p1-1. Palp ( Figs 1 View FIGURE 1 A–C, 10A–C, 15A–C): wide embolus, with rectangular base and rounded apex; median apophysis excavated laterally and with a short and rounded apex; conductor with narrow base and large apex, not covering the tip of the embolus.

Female (MPEG(ARA)001723). Total length 9.18 ( Fig. 9B View FIGURE 9 ). Carapace 3.96 long and 3.05 wide. Clypeus 0.23 high. Eye diameters: AME 0.20, ALE 0.14, PME 0.30, PLE 0.26. Leg measurements: I: femur 3.15 / patella 1.65 / tibia 3.12 / metatarsus 2.51 / tarsus 1.19 / total 11.59; II: 3.15 / 1.56 / 2.82 / 2.40 / 1.14 / 11.04; III: 2.74 / 1.40 / 2.33 / 2.48 / 1.15 / 10.10; IV: 3.64 / 1.43 / 3.25 / 4.12 / 1.46 / 13.9. Leg formula 4123. Leg spination: tibia I–II v2-2-2-2-2, r0, p0, III–IV v1-1-1-1-2, r1-1, p1-1; metatarsus I–II v2-2-2, r0, p0, III v2-2-2, r1-1, p1-1, IV v1-1-1-1-1-2, r1-1, p1-1. Epigyne ( Figs 1 View FIGURE 1 D–F, 10D–E, 15D): hexagonal median sector with rounded posterior lateral projections; lateral projections curved, not totally covered by the elongated lateral sector; straight copulatory ducts; small fertilization ducts.
