Genus Ypypuera Rheims & Brescovit, 2004 View in CoL
Type species. Tama crucifera Vellard, 1924 from Brazil .
Comments. The genus currently comprises three species distributed from Venezuela to Argentina ( WSC, 2024). Among them, only Y. esquisita Rheims & Brescovit, 2004 , known only from females, was described from Ecuador. In the male palp of Y. crucifera illustrated here, we noticed modifications in the form of a prolateral outgrowth of the cymbium (Cy) and a corresponding pit (Tp) on the tibia. Although these characters have not been previously documented within the Hersiliidae , they apparently occur in many species of the family (C.A. Rheims, pers. comm.).
