Achaearanea schneirlai Levi, 1959: 67 , fig. 26, male holotype, from Barro Colorado Island, Panama, 30/ IV/1946, T. C. Sch- neirla leg., deposited in American Museum of Natural History, not examined.
Cryptachaea schneirlai: Yoshida, 2008: 39 View in CoL (transferred to Cryptachaea View in CoL ).
Diagnosis. The female is similar to that of Cryptachaea dea ( Buckup & Marques, 2006) View in CoL (see Buckup & Marques, 2006: 64, figs. 5, 6) by the larger and oval spermathecae, and by presence and the shape of atrium ( Fig. 7 View FIGURES 5–8 ), but differ by the spermathecae close to each other, and by the shape of fertilization ducts forming a handle ( Fig. 8 View FIGURES 5–8 ).
Description. Male described by Levi (1959: 67). Here we provide the first illustration of the male body in dorsal view ( Fig. 13 View FIGURES 9–14 ).
Female ( IBSP 174303): Total length 3.45. Carapace: length 1.37, width 1.09. Clypeus: height 0.18. Sternum: length 0.78, width 0.70. Chelicerae: length 0.44, width 0.20. Abdomen: length: 1.89, width 1.61, height 1.87. Segment length (I/II/III/IV): femora 1.82/1.43/1.06/1.84; patellae+tibiae 1.27/0.83/1,56 (absent leg I); metatarsi+tarsi 1.69/1.30/2.08 (absent leg I). Palp: femora 0.33, patellae 0.13, tibiae 0.18, tarsi 0.39. PME bigger than the other eyes; other eyes are the same size. Eyes with dark borders ( Fig. 14 View FIGURES 9–14 ). Carapace oval, dark brown ( Fig. 14 View FIGURES 9–14 ). Clypeus brown, laterally concave. Chelicerae brown. Labium yellow, subquadrangular. Endites brown, subquadrangular. Sternum dark brown. Legs yellow, except distal femur and tibiae apex with dark brown spot. Abdomen dorsally dark brown, with two laterals triangular and one posterior dark spots ( Fig. 14 View FIGURES 9–14 ) and with median and posterior white spots ( Fig. 14 View FIGURES 9–14 ); ventrally yellow, with dark brown and white dots. Spinnerets brown. Epigynum with epigynal plate wider than long ( Fig. 7 View FIGURES 5–8 ), with an atrium horseshoe-shaped, two oval spermathecae ( Fig. 8 View FIGURES 5–8 ), fertilization ducts form a handle ( Fig. 8 View FIGURES 5–8 ).
