Diagnosis. Ariadna araucana is similar to A. lalen n. sp. due to the presence of reduced mid-portion in the male palp, and females with leg formula II-I-IV-III and absence of the median membranous crack in the interpulmonary fold; males of A. araucana differ from those of A. lalen n. sp. by the presence of sub-rectangular bulb, and mid-portion and embolus tapered ( Fig. 53A‒B View FIGURE 53 ); females of A. araucana differ from A. lalen n. sp. by the presence of an anterior receptaculum, flattened laterally, without incrassated regions ( Fig. 53C‒D View FIGURE 53 ).

Description. Male (La Unión, AMNH). Carapace and chelicerae dark reddish brown ( Fig. 52A View FIGURE 52 ). Endites reddish orange; labium dark reddish orange. Sternum reddish orange with darker margins, and four pairs of fainted dark marginal areas ( Fig. 52B View FIGURE 52 ). Palps light orange ( Fig. 53A‒B View FIGURE 53 ).
