Genus Guadana Rheims, 2010a

Figs 1−57

Guadana Rheims, 2010a: 33 (Type species Guadana manauara Rheims by original designation).

Emended diagnosis. Species of Guadana Rheims resemble those of Sparianthina Banks in having intermarginal denticles arranged in a row; two pairs of ventral spines on tibiae I−II and one lateral spine on each side of metatarsi I−II (see Jäger et al. 2009: figs 10, 33; Rheims 2010a: fig. 7); and male palps with a strong dorsal tegular apophysis (DTA) (Figs 57−66, 94−102); female palp with a long-toothed claw (Jäger et al. 2009: figs 13, 64). They are distinguished from those of the latter genus by the male palps with DTA acutely tapering (Figs 57−66); embolus with basal projection absent or at the prolateral side of the embolus (Figs 67−76) (DTA roundly blunt or distally widened, basal projection at the retrolateral or ventral side of the embolus in Sparianthina) and by the female vulva with glandular projection absent and fertilization ducts short (e.g., Figs 5, 30, 47) (glandular projection present and fertilization ducts long in Sparianthina).

Description. See Rheims (2010a).

Distribution. North and northwestern South America, with records from French Guiana, Brazil, Ecuador and Peru (Figs 81−82).
