Stygnoplus tapirapeco View in CoL sp. nov.
( Figs. 4 View FIGURE 4 A–E, 13A–C)
Diagnosis: The male of this species is similar to those of Stygnoplus forcipatus ( C.L. Koch, 1845) , S. biguttatus Pinto-da-Rocha, 1997, S. dominicanus ( Roewer, 1943) , S. flavitarsis ( Simon, 1879) , S. granulosus Mello-Leitão, 1940 , S. lomion Villarreal, 2006 and S. triacanthus (Kollar, 1839) based on the presence of two large apical tubercles on male patella IV and ventroapical rows of tubercles on femur and tibia IV. It differs from them in the absence of dorsal strong tubercles on femur-tibia and venter of male tibia IV.
