Additional material examined. MARTINIQUE. Plateau de La Concorde (14°40’00”N; 61°06’00”W), 9♂, 2012-2013, Museum team leg. (CPM) ; 4♂ Plateau de La Concorde (14°40’00”N; 61°06’00”W), 9♂, 2012-2013, Musem team leg. (IBSP 167201, 167202) .

Diagnosis. Males from Masteria sabrinae n. sp. resemble those of Masteria spinosa, M. simla and M. galipote n. sp. in having a paraembolic apophysis (Fig. 27B–C), but differ in having a conical tooth in the embolar base (Fig. 27B). Females resemble those of Masteria manauara and M. petrunkevitchi in the unilobed spermathecae, but differ in the elongated lobe, thickened duct and apex curved to ectal side (Fig. 27D–F).

Etymology. In honor of the biologist Sabrina de Souza Ferreira, the senior author`s fiancée.
