Diagnosis. Males and females of Catanduba tuskae sp. nov. differ from those of all other species of the genus by the uniformly brown color of the abdomen, without ornamentation ( Fig. 11 View FIGURE 11 A), the male palpal bulb with a long curved median tooth on the embolus ( Figs 2 View FIGURE 2 A–C) and female spermathecal receptacles bent to the outer side, with large nodules ( Figs 2 View FIGURE 2 E, F).
