Diagnosis (emended): Morphology. Males differ from those of most Bonnetina species by being medium to large-sized and by having moderately to strongly developed tibiae I accessory apophysis, not geniculate pedipalpal bulbs, and long and sub-conical bulbal embolus, lacking PSA keel. Males differ from those of B. tenuiverpis , B. malinalli and B. minax by its pedipalpal bulb shape and by having the appendages covered by abundant copper to pink pubescence (brown to black in the other species). They also differ from B. tenuiverpis and B. malinalli by being much larger. Females differ from most species by having pawn-shaped spermatheca. They differ from females of B. tenuiverpis and B. minax by reaching a larger size and by the colourful appendages (like in males). DNA. No diagnostic COI nucleotides present. Both mitochondrial lineages (see below) have COI p -distances to other species above 7%; variability inside each lineage of less than 2% (Appendices S1, S5).

Species delimitation methods and remarks: Integrative ( Ortiz & Francke, 2016); this study: morphology, HG barcoding, PTP and distributional models. Molecular methods based on COI detect two lineages inside the species. These mitochondrial lineages seem not to be supported by the morphological evidence (this study) and the nuclear and integrative evidence ( Ortiz & Francke, 2016).
