Diagnosis. Females of Tullgrenella didelphis (Simon, 1886) are very similar to those of T. brescoviti Estol, Marta & Rodrigues, 2020 in the epigynum with monoplanar spirals of copulatory ducts, but differ from those by the elongate tubular posteriorly-opening coupling pocket and the epigynum longer than wide (see Galiano 1970: fig. 11, l. XXXI). Male unknown.

Description. See Galiano (1963, 1970).

Note. This is species where specimens do not presently exist in Latin America institutions. It was not possible to examine, loan or photograph the type material due to the COVID-19 pandemic. However, the taxonomic review by Galiano (1970) provided illustrations and descriptions of this species, which are sufficient to understand the species and compare it with others of the same group.

Distribution. Bolivia [Cochabamba (Galiano 1970)] (Figs 50A–B).

Natural history. The altitudinal occurrence of this species is 2552 m a. s. l. (Figs 50A–B).
