Description.

MALE: Measurements (n =9) DSW: 3.3-3.4 (3.3); DSL: 4.6-5.2 (4.6); CL: 1.5-2.0 (1.5). FIVL: 5.0-5.3 (5.0). ChL: 1.7-3.0 (2.1). Coloration: (Fig. 22A): Predominantly orange, with two longitudinal black spots in the lateral portion of areas I-IV. Lateral margins of the dorsal scutum yellowish, with small black spots. Posterior margin of the dorsal scutum, free tergites and legs predominantly black. Chelicerae and pedipalpus orange and reddish. Dorsum: (Fig. 2B) Alpha-type DSS, with the constrictions weakly marked (when compared to most Ayacucho spp.). Anterior margin of carapace covered with granules in all its width. Ocularium unarmed, smooth or with a few granules in some individuals. Carapace with scattered granules distributed throughout its surface. Areas I-IV with one pair of small median tubercles; densely granulate. Posterior margin of dorsal scutum with a median row of 6-8 (6) acuminate tubercles (larger than tubercles of areas I-IV). Free tergites I-III with a row of tubercles similar to those on the posterior margin of dorsal scutum. Chelicerae: (Fig. 2B) Swollen in some males (not swollen in the holotype). Segment I covered with granules throughout their length. Segment II predominantly smooth; finger with three teeth. Segment III with two teeth. Pedipalpus: With granules sparsely distributed on the dorsal surface of the femur and patella. Trochanter with a distal ventral setiferous tubercle. Femur with a ventrobasal setiferous tubercle and a row of 5-6 (5) small ventromedial setiferous tubercles. Tibia: prolateral IIII, retrolateral IIII. Tarsus: prolateral IIi, retrolateral Iii. Venter: Coxa I with scattered small tubercles; coxae II-III, predominantly smooth, with sparse granules; Coxa IV with denser granulation than coxae II-III. Genital area smooth. Free sternites I-IV and anal operculum with granules sparsely distributed. Legs: (Figs 2B, 7C, D) Coxa I with a prolateral apophysis; coxa II with a retrolateral and a prolateral apophysis. Coxa IV densely granulate. Trochanters I-IV with few granules, unarmed. Femora I-IV, with granules distributed throughout its length. Tarsal formula: (n = 9) 7-8 (7), 11, 7, 8. Penis: (Fig. 16D-F) VP subrectangular; distal margin with a V-notch, and with conspicuous laterodistal projections; slightly curved in lateral view. MS C1-C7 subdistal long and curved; MS A1 long and straight; medially placed; MS B1 sub basal long and straight; MS D1 subdistal very short, dorsally placed. Lateral sacs long and apically acuminate; with long T3-like microsetae. Stylus apically robust and with projections. Dorsal process absent. Promontory convex. - FEMALE: Measurements (n =10) DSW: 3.5-4.0; DSL: 4.5-5.2; CL: 1.6-1.8. FIVL: 4.7-5.6. ChL: 1.7-2.1. (Fig. 22B) Chelicerae not swollen. Strongly similar to small males. Tarsal segmentation: (n =10) 6, 10-11, 7, 8.

Diagnosis.

Similar to Ayacucho pomacocha sp. nov., A. silvae sp. nov., A. titschacki and A. vargasllosai sp. nov. in the following combination of characteristics: dorsal scutum densely granulate; ocularium and areas I-IV of DS unarmed or armed with tiny tubercles, slightly greater than granules; posterior margin of DS and free tergites I-III with median rows of acuminate tubercles (Fig. 2B); femur IV of males without strong armature (except in ventral surface of femur IV in A. silvae sp. nov., Fig. 7C, D). It differs from the four previously mentioned species in the following combination of characteristics: DSS with weakly marked constrictions (Fig. 2B); ocularium unarmed and smooth or with a few granules (Fig. 2B); male femur IV unarmed (unlike A. silvae sp. nov., Fig. 7C, D); and penis VP subrectangular with a V-notch on distal margin (Fig. 16D, F).

Derivatio nominis.

The specific epithet of masculine gender, in the genitive form, dedicated to the Brazilian filmmaker, actor and writer Glauber de Andrade Rocha (1939-1981).
