Diagnosis. L. quadrinotatus belongs to the L. viridis group of species, with males very similar to those of L. elegans , L. remotus and L. mandibulatus , from which they can be distinguished easily by the straight ventral edge of their long and pointed median apophysis, and their short, robust and straight embolus with a thickened embolar base ( Figures 1-2 ). Females resemble those of L. bryantae , L. unicolor , L. adisi and L. trinidadus by their epigyna with anterior copulatory openings, posterior spermathecae, and short copulatory ducts. However L. quadrinotatus females can be identified by their epigynum with a rounded posterior border, longer copulatory ducts with posterior glandular ducts (arrow in Figure 3 ), and deeper and wider copulatory openings ( Figures 3-4 ) ( Galiano 1962, 1980).

Distribution ( Figure 5 ). Previous known from Venezuela (Aragua) ( World Spider Catalog 2018). Here I add new records from Brazil (Amazonas, Pará) and Colombia (Putumayo). This species was collected in a pitfall trap in a highly-conserved Amazonian-Andean rainforest forest in Colombia, and in two wellconserved Amazonian forests in Brazil, the first records of the species from the southern hemisphere of South America.
