Type material. Holotype ♂: BRAZIL: Rio Grande do Sul: Santa Maria, Barragem Saturnino de Brito [S29.52418°, W53.80271°], A.A. Lise leg., 14.VII.1982 ( MCN 10584 ). GoogleMaps
Etymology. The name is a patronym in honor of Izaura da Conceiç ã o Magalh ã es Muniz Maschiro (nicknamed “Iza”), assistant of the MPEG Arachnology Collection.
Diagnosis. Males of Falconina iza sp. nov. are similar to those of F. catirina sp. nov. by the well-developed RTA median lobe and by the small, triangular dorsal lobe. They differ by the shorter sub-squared median lobe, with truncated apices ( Figs 17B View FIGURE 17 , 18B View FIGURE 18 ), and by the large, prolaterally inserted lamelliform embolus, with a wide-spanned embolar process ( Figs 17A View FIGURE 17 , 18A View FIGURE 18 ).
Description. Male (MCN 10584). Carapace dark brown, with darker cephalic region. Chelicerae, labium, and endites reddish-brown. Sternum dark orange. Legs dark orange with femora dark brown. Abdomen dark gray, scutum yellow, longer than wide. Total length: 6.075. Carapace 2.941 long, 2.325 wide. Clypeus height 0.233. Eye diameters: AME 0.174, ALE 0.105, PME 0.114, PLE 0.100. Interocular distances: AME-AME 0.046, AME-ALE 0.040, PME-PME 0.122, PME-PLE 0.111, ALE-PLE 0.031, PME-AME 0.046. Chelicerae with three promarginal teeth, the second two times longer, and five retromarginal teeth, the most proximal to fang three times smaller than others. Sternum 1.440 long, 1.399 wide. Leg measurements: I—2.393, 0.491, 2.088, 1.721, 1.285, 8.978; II—Missing; III—1.675, 0.660, 1.635, 1.720, 1.350, 7.040; IV—1.907, 0.498, 2.113, 2.096, 1.514, 8.128. Abdomen 3.089 long, 2.084 wide.

Male palp. Tibia almost half of cymbium length. Three lobes. Ventral lobe with well-developed dorsal process (dVL), a long and thin apical spur, longer than both median and dorsal lobes. Median lobe well-developed, sub-squared. Dorsal lobe smaller than median lobe ( Figs 17B View FIGURE 17 , 18B View FIGURE 18 ). Cymbium with slim retrolateral basal process. Basal prolateral process present, small. Spermophore with three ventral folds. Tegular process small, inserted retrolaterally. Embolus large, prolaterally inserted, with enlarged and truncated apices. Embolar process well-developed, lamelliform, not exceeding length of embolus or conductor ( Figs 17A View FIGURE 17 , 18A View FIGURE 18 ).
