Tenedos capote Jocqué & Baert, 2002: 88 , fig. 11D–E. ( Female holotype from Capote forest , Valley Carare region Opón, 150m, 28.VII. VIII.1968, H. Sturm leg., deposited in MCZ 54649, examined).

Diagnosis. Females of Tenedos capote Jocqué & Baert, 2002 , are similar those of T. barronus Jocqué & Baert, 2002 , T. hoeferi Jocqué & Baert, 2002 , and T. quadrangulatus Jocqué & Baert, 2002 , by having long, wide seminal receptacles (SR) curved towards median septum of Epigyne (see Jocqué & Baert, 2002: 87, 100, 116, figs 10C–D, 18D–E, 33A–B; figs 12E–F; 13C–D; 27C–F), but can be distinguished by their wider seminal receptacles; knobshaped median field plate (MFP), wider than long, rounded in posterior border; wider than long atrium (A) almost as wide as anterior portion of median field plate; inverted V-shaped anterior border; larger spermathecae (S) ( Fig. 27C–F ).

Redescription. Female (Holotype, MCZ 54649). Coloration ( Fig. 27A–B ): carapace uniformly orange, two elongated yellow spots in front fovea, light brown thoraric grooves. Chelicerae with the paturon brown and brownreddish fangs. Endites brown, yellow on anterior side. Labium and sternum light brown. Legs: coxae I–IV light brown. Femora I –IV white on base, turning brown towards distal side. Patellae-tarsi I –IV light brown. Abdomen: dorsally dark gray with five white guanine spots organized as follows: two rounded spots very close to each other, anteriorly positioned; two longitudinal spots larger than previous ones, anteromedially positioned; two rounded spots with an anterior notch, medially positioned; a large and irregular spot, posteriorly positioned. Laterally dark gray without spots. Ventrally light brown with two longitudinal and thin stripes, laterally positioned. Spinnerets light yellow. Measurements: total length 7.11, carapace length 3.71, width 2.35, height 1.71. Clypeus height 0.82. Eye diameters and interdistances: AME 0.11, ALE 0.12, PME 0.15, PLE 0.15; AME–AME 0.24, AME–ALE 0.33, AME–PME 0.33, PME–PME 0.30, PME–PLE 0.57, ALE–PLE 0.45. Chelicerae 1.29 length. Sternum length 1.23, width 1.19. Legs: I—femur 1.74/ patella 0.79/ tibia 1.85/ metatarsus 1.79/ tarsus 1.29/ total 7.46; II—1.63/ 0.83/ 1.27/ 1.44/ 1.03/ 6.20; III—1.62/ 0.79/ 1.43/ 1.57/ 1.06/ 6.47; IV—1.92/ 0.82/ 1.80/ 2.41/ 1.09/ 8.04. Abdomen length 3.15. Legs spines pattern (only the differences from the general pattern): I—femur d 0-0-1p; IV—femur d0-0-1d, tibia v1p-1p-2. Epigyne: lateral borders (LB) short, wide, posteriorly positioned, forming small posterior atrium (A); median field plate (MFP) wider than long, rounded at basal side; copulatory ducts (CD) very short, wide, poorly delimited from spermathecae; seminal receptacles (SR) long, very wide, curved towards median septum; spermathecae (S) large, irregulars, posteriorly positioned; fertilization ducts (FD) shorter than spermathecae length ( Fig. 27C–F ).

Male. Unknown.

Distribution. Known from Magdalena department, Colombia ( Fig. 106 ).
