Etymology: The species epithet is a noun in apposition, a patronym in honour of Ana Jacinta de São José, known as Dona Beja, a woman from Minas Gerais known for her beauty and curious life history.

Diagnosis: Males of Odontopeltis donabeja differ from all other species of the genus by the large and distinct median process of the solenomere, surpassing the tip of the solenomere (Figs 78, 79). Males of Odontopeltis xica are similar with regard to the posteriorly curved tip of process B; however, the curvature is much more pronounced in Odontopeltis xica . In Odontopeltis donabeja process B is subtriangular in shape, whereas it is rounded in Odontopeltis xica .
