Differential diagnosis
Females of A. sofiae sp. nov. are differentiated from those of all species of the pectorosa and pacifica groups by the following features: copulatory ducts extending beyond the hood, atrium oval, hood faint, thin and straight ( Figs 36E–F View Fig , 38A–B View Fig ).
Etymology
The species epithet is dedicated to Sofia Rivera, niece of the first author.

Description
Female
Total length 7.8. Carapace yellow, pattern with darker bands delineating cephalic area, around fovea and clypeus ( Fig. 36A, D View Fig ). Sternum surface white, intercoxal triangles present on all legs. Labium brown, white at tip, longer than wide. Endites yellow, rectangular, broader at tip ( Fig. 36C View Fig ). Chelicerae brown, without dorsal pattern ( Fig. 36B, D View Fig ), promargin with four teeth, retromargin with eight to nine denticles. Abdomen dorsal surface white, covered with darker patches and some diffuse chevrons at center, lateral and ventral surfaces white, pattern diffusing ventrally, tracheal spiracle slightly closer to epigastric furrow ( Fig. 36A–C View Fig ). Anterior area of epigynal plate delineated laterally by two faint pits near copulatory ducts bent. Genital openings at both sides of hood. Copulatory duct paths bent posteriorly beyond hood and entering spermathecae antero-laterally. Seminal receptacles closer to spermathecae at one third of copulatory ducts’ length. Fertilization ducts short, straight, and entering spermathecae via postero-lateral surface ( Figs 36E–F View Fig , 38A–B View Fig ). Cephalothorax length 2.93, thoracic width 2.29, cephalic width 1.23. Clypeus height 0.1. Eye diameters: AME 0.09, ALE 0.12, PME 0.12, PLE 0.12. Eye interdistances: AME–AME 0.06, AME–ALE 0.04, ALE–PLE 0.17, PME–PME 0.17, PME–PLE 0.13. Femur lengths: I 3.13, II 2.9, III 2.26, IV 3.0. Leg spination: femur I d1-1-1, p0-1-2, r0-1-1. Tibia I v2-2-0, p1-1-1, r1-1-1. Metatarsus I v2-2-0, p1-1-1, r1-1-1. Femur II d1-1-1, p0-1-1, r0-1-1. Tibia II v2-2-0, p1-1-1, r1-1-1. Metatarsus II v2-2-0, p1-1-1, r1-1-1.
