Diagnosis

Females of Ariadna motumotirohiva sp. nov. are similar to those of Ariadna perkinsi Simon, 1900 and Ariadna lebronneci Berland, 1933 due to the dark dorsal abdominal pattern ( Fig. 2A View Fig ; Giroti & Brescovit 2018: fig. 31a, e), but differ from the former by the anterior receptaculum with the dorsal lobe globous ( Fig. 3 View Fig ; Giroti & Brescovit, 2018: fig. 31i–j), by the presence of three promarginal teeth on the chelicerae and femur IV with dorsal macrosetae, and from the latter by four promarginal teeth (see Berland 1933: 44, figs 1–2).

Etymology

The name refers to the name given by the Rapa Nui people to the type locality, 'Motu Motiro Hiva'; noun in apposition.

Internal female genitalia with anterior receptaculum billobulated, dorsal lobe conspicuously longer than the ventral one, with median and ventral projections; glandular ducts plate medianly positioned; interpulmonary fold with the dorsal margin sclerotized, and a median membranous crack; posterior receptaculum membranous, with tubular invaginations ( Fig. 3 View Fig ).

Variation

Female (n = 2): total length 10.8–13.36; carapace 5.92–6.4 long, 3.44–3.76 wide; femur I 3.76–4.48.

Note

For comparison we used the female specimen of A. perkinsi described by Giroti & Brescovit (2018) (IBSP 209056) and the original description and illustrations provided by Berland (1933: 44) of A. lebronneci .
