Stethorrhagus planada Bonaldo & Brescovit, 1994: 56, figs 17a–b, 18a–c, ♂ ♀.

Diagnosis

Males of S. planada resemble those of S. loxodonta sp. nov., S. hyula and S. sylvilagus sp. nov. by the combined presence of a bifid VL and by the dVL not protruding, covered by long, thick modified hairs (Fig. 21D–E; Bonaldo & Brescovit 1994: figs 17b, 19b), differing from those of S. loxodonta by the SePP and embolus separated at base (Fig. 21C) (SePP and embolus geminated at base in S. loxodonta – Fig. 20A) and from those of S. hyula and S. sylvilagus by the TP1 represented by a wide, serrated keel (Fig. 21C; Bonaldo & Brescovit 1994: fig. 17b) (TP1 tooth-like in S. hyula and S. sylvilagus – Figs 22D, 25A, 26A; Bonaldo & Brescovit 1994: fig. 19a). Females resemble those of S. callithrix sp. nov., S. sylvilagus and S. sciurus sp. nov. by the epigynum with VEP, CO disposed anteriorly in relation to SI, with U-shaped posterior margin, differing by the sub-rectangular VEP, placed medially on the epigynal plate (Bonaldo & Brescovit 1994: fig. 18a) (VEP gently procurved, placed posteriorly on the epigynal plate in S. callithrix, S. sylvilagus and S. sciurus – Figs 25C, 26C, 32C, 33C, 43C–D).
