ETYMOLOGY: The specific name is a patronym in honor of Helmut Sturm, collector of the types.

DIAGNOSIS: Males have a small palpal bulb with a short, simple embolus (figs.14;864– 867); females have only a slight, slitlike genital atrium, and a short, separate postepigastric scutum (figs. 871–873).

MALE (PBI_ OON 37005 View Materials , figs. 861–867): Total length 1.26. Elevated portion of pars cephalica appears reticulate. Chilum small, wide, triangular. Sternum surface finely reticulate. Anterior ledge of paturon with slight tubercle at outer margin. Endites with ventral process relatively short, wide. Leg spination: femur I p0- 0-2; tibiae: I v4-4-0, II v4-2-0; metatarsi: I v2-2- 1p, II v2-2-0. Embolus long, narrow, distal twothirds directed obliquely; cymbium completely fused with bulb, no seam visible.

FEMALE (PBI_ OON 37005 View Materials , figs. 868– 873): Total length 1.47. Postepigastric scutum only around epigastric furrow.
