Genus Munduruku Miglio, Bonaldo & Pérez-Miles, 2013

Type species

Munduruku bicoloratum Miglio, Bonaldo & Pérez-Miles, 2013 , by monotypy.

Emended diagnosis

Adapted from Miglio et al. 2013 and Pérez-Miles & Perafán (2020). Munduruku ressembles other genera of Hapalopini by the abdominal pattern in adults of both sexes, here forming concave and convex openings along a thicker longitudinal stripe; type III urticating setae present and predominant (females also possesses type IV restricted to the edges of the mirror patch); male tibial apophysis with two branches fused at base. Males share with Hapalopus the shape of tibial apophysis, with the prolateral branch short, thick and slightly recurved and presence of TP in palpal tibia. Males differ from other Hapalopini genera by combination of following characters: piriform palpal bulb, with weak PS; embolus slightly twisted in apex; presence of pronounced SA, detacheded from embolus, without apical keel. Females differ from those of Kochiana by the presence of GC in spermathecae restricted to the receptacles apex. Differs from other genera of Hapalopini by the shape of spermathecae, not fused at base, with two caliciform receptacles, heavily sclerotized along with the ducts.
