79487D14FF94FFC0FDA935F0FAC12F7A.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis Cybaeodamus can be recognized by the combination of following characters: both sexes have the chelicerae densely covered with setae (Fig. 14 G), and the coxae IV are positioned close to each other, sometimes touching in males (Figs 1 B – C, 7 C, 10 B, 14 C, I). Additionally, males are recognized by having at least two tegular apophyses – a median apophysis and a terminal, sclerotized conductor-like appendage – and are further characterized by a field of densely packed modified setae on the venter of the abdomen (Figs 3 B – F, 10 K – L, 14 C – H; see also Lise et al. 2009: figs 13 – 14, 35; and Andía & Grismado 2015: fig. 4 b – c). Females are distinguished by the epigyne with strongly sclerotized areas on both sides and anteriorly delimited by deep arches (Figs 6 C, 9 A – C).	en	Henrard, Arnaud, Jocqué, Rudy, Carvalho, Leonardo S.

79487D14FF93FFC9FDC2307DFAD72B99.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis Males of the new species are similar to those of Cybaeodamus enigmaticus. They differ from other congeners by the retrobasal origin of the embolus base and a similar shape of the tegular apophysis and conductor (Figs 5 D – E, 6 A vs Lise et al. 2009: figs 42, 45). However, males of C. ampullatus sp. nov. are distinguished by the shape of the elongate prong of the RTA (Figs 5 B – C, 6 B vs different shape and shorter, see Lise et al. 2009: fig. 44), the presence of one tooth on the cheliceral promargin only (Fig. 3 A vs two teeth on promargin and one tooth on the retromargin, Mello-Leitão 1939: 58) and the field of modified, ampullate setae on the abdomen venter (Fig. 3 C – F vs ventral cover with needle-like setae, see Lise et al. 2009: figs 46 – 47; see also Jocqué 1991: 50). The female is recognized by a bulb-shaped epigynal plate (Figs 6 C, 9 A – C), and the strongly enlarged, overlapping, flatworm-shaped copulatory ducts (Fig. 9 D – F).	en	Henrard, Arnaud, Jocqué, Rudy, Carvalho, Leonardo S.

79487D14FF99FFD7FDB23049FA832B19.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis The male of the new species shares a similar palp conformation with that of Cybaeodamus brescoviti (Figs 12 – 13 vs Lise et al. 2009: figs 37 – 39). Both species share a simple, claw-shaped conductor and a median apophysis roughly axe-shaped differing from all other congeners. However, the palp of C. spinosissimus sp. nov. has a differently shaped median apophysis (MA) (Figs 12 E, 13 A – B vs Lise et al. 2009: figs 37, 39). It can further be distinguished by the shape of the modified setae tightly grouped on the venter of the abdomen, which are spine-shaped (Fig. 10 K – L vs curved spatulated setae, see Lise et al. 2009: 266), the fourth coxae with a brush of strong macrosetae (Fig. 10 B, J vs absent) and the promargin of the chelicerae provided with two teeth (Fig. 10 E – F vs absent).	en	Henrard, Arnaud, Jocqué, Rudy, Carvalho, Leonardo S.

79487D14FF82FFDDFDED33CCFC6D29BE.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis The male of this species resembles that of C. tocantins by sharing the group of strong macrosetae at the posterior tip of the sternum and the retromargin of the fourth coxae (Fig. 14 C, I vs Lise et al. 2009: fig. 61), and by the shape of the RTA (Figs 16 C, E, 17 C vs Lise et al. 2009: fig. 65). These characteristics differentiate these species from all other congeners. However, C. malkini sp. nov. differs from C. tocantins by the shape of its tegular sclerites (Figs 16 B, D, 17 A – B, D – E vs Lise et al. 2009: fig. 63), and by the absence of a ventral process on both the coxae and femur of leg III (see Lise et al. 2009: fig. 62).	en	Henrard, Arnaud, Jocqué, Rudy, Carvalho, Leonardo S. (2025): Three new Cybaeodamus Mello-Leitão, 1938 species from Brazil (Araneae, Zodariidae).

79487D14FF82FFDDFDED33CCFC6D29BE.taxon	discussion	Remark In the diagnosis of C. tocantins by Lise et al. (2009), a ventral process on femur IV is mistakenly mentioned. However, the description and the fig. 62 refer to a ventral process on both the coxae and femur of leg III, which should align with the observed morphology.	en	Henrard, Arnaud, Jocqué, Rudy, Carvalho, Leonardo S.
