Redescription.

MALE: Measurements (n =1) DSW: 2.8; DSL: 3.2; CL: 1.0. FIVL: 2.0. ChL: 1.2. Coloration (in ethanol): Uniformly yellowish. In the original description: rusty-yellow body, dorsally darker than ventrally; legs rusty-yellow, slightly blackish. Dorsum: (Fig. 2C) Alpha-type DSS, with long coda. Anterior margin densely covered with granules, with median elevation. Ocularium with a pair of spines; densely granulate. Carapace densely granulate at lateral and posterior regions. Areas I-IV densely covered with granules; I unarmed; II-IV with two pairs of small paramedian tubercles, slightly larger than the granules. Posterior margin of dorsal scutum with a row of acuminate and scattered tiny tubercles. Free tergites I-III with a row of large acuminate tubercles, much larger than tubercles of the areas of dorsal scutum and interspersed with small tubercles. Lateral margins of dorsal scutum densely covered with granules. Chelicerae: (Fig. 2C) Similar to the female. Segment I densely granulate. Segment II with granules with a much lower density than on segment I; four teeth on finger. Segment III with two teeth. Pedipalpus: Trochanter with a ventroapical tubercle. Femur with a ventrobasal tubercle; a row of three small ventral tubercles, smaller than the ventrobasal tubercle. Tibia: prolateral IIi, retrolateral iIi. Tarsus: prolateral IIi, retrolateral iIii. Venter: Coxa I with a middle row of four small tubercles. Coxae II-IV densely covered with granules. The area between coxae II-III and III-IV with a small tubercle at the apex. Smooth genital area. Free sternites with a row of small granules. Anal operculum covered with granules. Legs: (Figs 2C, 7E, F) Coxae I-II with a prolateral apophyses; III unarmed; IV densely granulate throughout its length, with an apical spiniform apophysis. Trochanters I-IV granulate; IV with a retroapical acuminate tubercle. Femora I-III with granules scattered throughout their extension; IV densely granulate; a retroventral row of 15 large acuminate tubercles throughout its length except at the base and apex; a proventral row of 10-12 large acuminate tubercles (tiny at base) throughout its length, with variation in number of tubercles between right and left legs in the same specimen. Patellae I-IV densely granulate. Tibiae I-IV densely granulate. Tarsal segmentation (n =1) 3, 8, 5-6, 6. Penis: (Fig. 12C, D) VP subrectangular with sides diverging towards the apex; distal margin straight; slightly sinuous on lateral view. MS C1-C3 subapical short and straight; MS A1 short and straight; placed more dorsally than MS C. Lateral sacs long, robust and apically blunt; with short T3-like microsetae. Stylus slightly thick, with long apex and small apical projections. Dorsal process present. - FEMALE: Measurements (n =1) DSW: 3.2; DSL: 3.6; CL: 1.2. FIVL: 2.3. ChL: 1.5. Female very similar to male. Chelicerae of similar size. Femur IV with a retroventral and a proventral rows of eight and 11 tubercles respectively, being much smaller than the tubercles in males and tubercles in proventral row larger than that of the retroventral row. Tarsal segmentation: (n =1) 5, 8, 6, 6.

Diagnosis.

Resembles Ayacucho spiniger comb. nov. because two ventral rows of tubercles in femur IV (Fig. 7F). Differs from A. spiniger comb. nov. because femur IV with spiniform tubercles (Fig. 7F); ventral plate of penis without lateral projections; VP with short macrosetae; lateral sacs with short microsetae; dorsal process shorter than the stylus (Fig. 12C, D).
