Stethorrhagus hyula Bonaldo & Brescovit, 1994

Figs 22–23, 50

Stethorrhagus hyula Bonaldo & Brescovit, 1994: 57, fig. 19a–d, ♂ ♀.

Diagnosis

Males of S. hyula resemble those of S. loxodonta sp. nov., S. planada and S. sylvilagus sp. nov. by the presence of a bifid VL and by the dVL not protruding, covered by long, thick modified hairs (Figs 19B, 21E, 22E, 25B, 26B; Bonaldo & Brescovit 1994: figs 17b, 19b), differing from those of S. loxodonta by the SePP and embolus separated at base (Fig. 37C–D; Bonaldo & Brescovit 1994: fig. 19a) (SePP and embolus geminated at base in S. loxodonta – Fig. 10A); from those of S. planada by the tooth-like TP1 (Fig. 21C–D; Bonaldo & Brescovit 1994: fig. 19a–b) (TP1 represented by a wide, serrated keel in S. planada – Fig. 21C; Bonaldo & Brescovit 1994: fig. 17a–b), and from those of S. sylvilagus, by the TP1 curved, pointing prolaterally (Bonaldo & Brescovit 1994: fig. 19a) (TP1 straight, pointing apically in S. sylvilagus – Figs 25A, 26A). Females are similar to those of S. roraimae, S. nigrinus and S. papilio sp. nov. by the epigynal plate without VEP, with CO disposed anteriorly in relation to SI (Figs 7C, 23C–D, 44C–D, 45C–F; Bonaldo & Brescovit 1994: figs 19a, 23a), differing by the presence of a posterior median half-moon-shaped sclerotization on the ventral epigynal plate (Bonaldo & Brescovit 1994: fig. 19c) (ventral epigynal plate without such a sclerotization in S. roraimae, S. nigrinus and S. papilio – Figs 7E–F, 44C–D, 45C–F; Bonaldo & Brescovit 1994: fig. 23s).
