Types

Holotype ♂, Chile ( MNHN 17.714 About MNHN ), examined.

Additional material examined

Chile, VIII Región del Biobío, Concepción, Barrio Universitario , 150 m asl, November 2004, 1 ♂ ( MZUC-UCCC 35890 ) .

Diagnosis

Differs from other Euathlus species by the presence of black spiniform setae on the prolateroventral coxae and retrolateroventral maxillae ( Figure 6A,B View Figure 6 ). Male differs from other species by the palpal organ morphology ( Figure 6C,D View Figure 6 ) with wide embolus, and apical and accessory keels ( Figure 6E View Figure 6 ).

Remarks

We removed Pa. manicata from the synonymy of Pa. scrofa and transferred it to Euathlus for the reasons given above, in the remarks of the genus.

The spiniform setae found in this species are similar in morphology to those described for some species of Grammostola ( Ferretti et al. 2011) . We did not locate a female allotype of this species, but it is our opinion that fig. 15 on pl. 1 of Legendre and Calderón (1984) does not match with Euathlus nor Phrixotrichus , given the differences in spermathecae morphology.
