Catumiri chicaoi n. sp.

( Figs. 5–9 )

Material examined — Holotype: Male, IBSP 9514, Brazil, Bahia, Una; K. Kato leg., XII.1999. Paratype: Female, IBSP 9514, Brazil, Bahia, Una; K. Kato leg., XII.1999.

Distribution — Brazil, Bahia, Una, 1Ψ ( IBSP 8615).

Etymology — A patronym to my friend Kenji Kato “Chicão”, who collected the specimens.

Diagnosis — Males differ from those of other species by the presence of two apical spines on the retrolateral branch of tibial spur, one of them partially bifurcate ( Figs 5–6 ). Females differ from those of other species by the presence of 4–5 pairs of small white spots on the dorsal side of the opisthosoma.
