Glenognatha globosa (Petrunkevitch, 1925)

(Figs. 60–64, 132)

Cyrtognatha globosa Petrunkevitch, 1925a: 123, fig. 42 (female holotype from San Lorenzo, Panama, 4.xii.1924, A. & W. Petrunkevitch leg., deposited in YPM, examined through photographs of the habitus and female genitalia). Glenognatha globosa: Dimitrov & Hormiga, 2009: 102, figs. 66 A –F; Cabra-García et al. 2014: 1029, figs. 1I, 2J, 7H, 9G–H; World Spider Catalog 2015.

Diagnosis. Males of G. globosa resemble those of G. gaujoni and G. patriceae by the presence of thin pleural bars between coxae II–III (Fig. 60C) and by the slender palpal tibia (longer than 1.5 times the maximum tibia width) (Figs. 62 A, E). It can be distinguished from the former by the absence of scale-like projections in the embolus (Fig. 64B) and from the latter by the absence of a thin distal projection in the conductor lamina (Figs. 62B, 64 A). Females can be easily distinguished from all other Glenognatha species (except G. gaujoni) by the presence of anterior tooth (Fig. 61D); distinguished from G. gaujoni by the absence of CFO (Fig. 61D–E) and by having at least six retromarginal teeth (Fig. 61F).
