Celaetycheus flavostriatus Simon 1897: 115 (Female holotype from Rio Salobro, next to Ilhéus [14°47ˏ20ʺS, 39°02ˏ56ʺW], Bahia, Brazil, E. Gounelle leg., deposited in MNHN 9267, examined); Silva 2003: 69; Polotow & Brescovit 2009: 17, figs 1C–D, 10A–D, 11A–D, 12A–C, 13A–D, 14A–C.

Diagnosis. Males of Celaetycheus flavostriatus ( Figs 1A–B ) resemble those of C. abara sp. nov. ( Fig. 5A ) by the shape of median apophysis, but can be distinguished by the round retrolateral cymbial projection and embolus with a large base. Females of C. flavostriatus ( Figs 1C–D ) resemble those of C. abara sp. nov. ( Fig. 5C ) by the elongate median sector and the presence of lateral lobes in the lateral sectors of the epigynum, but can be distinguished by the larger head of the spermathecae ( Fig. 5D ).

Description. See Polotow & Brescovit (2009).
