MATERIAL EXAMINED. — Mexico • 6 ♂, 10 ♀; Jalisco: Guadalajara: Bosque El Centinela ; 20°45’44.4”N, 103°22’51.1”W; 1584 m a.s.l.; 26.X.2023; D. Ochoa-Vázquez, O. I. Ochoa-Vázquez leg.; GenBank accession numbers: PV430733-36; CRLSM-OP _01; CNAN-OP2021 .

EMENDED DIAGNOSIS. — Diguetinus raptator can be distinguished from Diguetinus spinulatus stat. restit. by the combination of the following characters: a) dorsum with transverse rows of spines running across each tergite of the opisthosoma, not in a single row (as in Diguetinus spinulatus stat. restit.) but rather with random to at least two rows of spines per tergite; b) leg femur predominantly dark brown; c) glans length less than length of alae section, about 1/2 the length of alae; d) alae section proportion approximately 1/6 of the total length of the penis; e) alae section internal texture with a reticulate pattern, dark in colour, present over the entire alae surface.
