Paradysderina boyaca , new species Figures 685–702

TYPES: Male holotype and female allotype from a Winkler sample taken at an elevation of 3350 m at Quebrada Carrizal , Santuario de Flora y Fauna de Iguaque, 5 ° 259N, 73 ° 279W, Boyacá, Colombia (Sept. 1–3, 2000; P. Reina), deposited in IAVH (108098, PBI_OON 625) .

ETYMOLOGY: The specific name is a noun in apposition taken from the type locality.

DIAGNOSIS: This species, like the two that follow, resembles P. globosa in genitalic morphology; also like those two following species, the left and right emboli are consistently different. In P. boyaca , the left embolus terminates in a long, needlelike projection (fig. 689), whereas the right embolus terminates in a much shorter, thicker projection (fig. 690). The female genital atrium is almost as long as the postepigastric scutum and has a W-shaped posteromedian sclerotization (figs. 700–702).

MALE (PBI_OON 625, figs. 685–696): Total length 1.98. Elevated portion of pars cephalica appears reticulate. Chilum broad, triangular. Paturon with inner margin slightly excavated. Endites with dorsal process long, widely separated from ventral process. Leg spination: femur I p0-0-2; tibiae: I v4-4- 0, II v4-2-0; metatarsi: I v2-2-1p, II v2-2-0. Left embolus terminating in long, needlelike projection, right embolus terminating in much shorter, thicker projection.

FEMALE (PBI_OON 625, figs. 697–702): Total length 2.11. Postepigastric scutum covering about one-third of abdomen length, fused to epigastric scutum. Leg spination: femur I p0-0-2; tibiae I, II v4-4-1p; metatarsi: I v2-2-2, II v2-0-2. Atrium large, semicircular; anterior genitalic process with W-shaped base.
