Tullgrenella peniaflorensis Galiano, 1970: 342 View in CoL , figs 51, 56 (holotype, female, CHILE, Peñaflor [33°36’23.4”S 70°52’42.3”W], II.1958, M. Toro leg. (MACN-Ar 6242), examined); Richardson, 2010: 45 View Cited Treatment , figs 127–129.

Diagnosis. Males of Tullgrenella peniaflorensis resemble those of T. selenita mainly by the large, longer tegular membranous process higher than the embolar base ( Fig. 46C View FIGURE 46 , see purple arrow) and the slightly sinuous distal cymbium ( Figs 4F View FIGURE 4 , 46C–D View FIGURE 46 vs 48C–D), but can be distinguished by the longer pointed RTA ( Fig. 46D View FIGURE 46 ) and the inclination of the ventral border of the conductor ( Fig. 46C View FIGURE 46 ). Females resemble those of T. selenita by the posteriorly-opening coupling pocket in a horizontal curly-bracket shape ( Figs 7P View FIGURE 7 vs 7Q, 47C–D vs 49C–D) and the ovoid spermathecae ( Figs 7P View FIGURE 7 vs 7Q), but can be distinguished by the ventral septum and the few loops of antero-medial portion of copulatory ducts ( Figs 7P View FIGURE 7 , 47C–D View FIGURE 47 ).

Legs macrosetae, femur I–II: d1–1–1, p2di; III: d1–1–1, p2di, r0–1–2di; IV: d1–1–1, p1di, r1di. Patella I–II: p1di; III–IV: p1di, r2di.

Palp macrosetae, femur: d1–1–1. Carapace as in genus ( Figs 45A–F View FIGURE 45 ). Legs dark. Abdomen reddish, with an anterior stripe of white scales ( Figs 45 View FIGURE 45 –FA) and with two circular white spots on the posterior region near to spinnerets ( Fig. 45A View FIGURE 45 ). Spinnerets as in genus ( Figs 46A–B View FIGURE 46 ). Palp, femur with reduced ventral basal protuberance. Tibial retrolateral apophysis sclerotized, acute, not exceeding the ventral tegulum ( Fig. 46D View FIGURE 46 ). Tegulum oblique to cymbium distal apex, longer than wider, C-shaped, with the short proximal retrolateral lobe of tegulum facing down ( Fig. 46C View FIGURE 46 ). Middle tegulum with central depression, with groove ( Fig. 46C View FIGURE 46 , see red arrow). Embolar base projected dorso-prolaterally, tegular membranous process up to embolar base ( Fig. 46C View FIGURE 46 , see purple arrow). Embolus thin, sclerotized, and slightly curved, not exceeding the cymbium apex ( Figs 46C–D View FIGURE 46 ). Projections accompany the embolus, a pars pendula about half of embolus length, a conductor cradle-shaped, about half of embolus length, dorsal, and prolateral to spermophore ( Fig. 46C View FIGURE 46 ).

Female. Described and illustrated by Galiano (1970: 341, 345, figs 51, 56).
