Diagnosis. Males of E. norae can be distinguished from those of their congeners by the shape of palpal bulb which has a distinct embolus tip with a small keel on the dorsal face. The retrolateral spines on the palpal tibia are arranged in two non-aligned rows (in its proximal area) and without an evident gap. Females are recognized by the flat shape of spermathecae receptacles ( Guadanucci & Weinmann 2014: fig. 2).

Distribution and natural history. Colombia, Norte de Santander: Bochalema and La Donjuana ( Fig. 36 View FIGURES 36–37 ). Venezuela: Mérida, La Azulita; Táchira, San Juan de Colón. The species occurs north of the Eastern Cordillera between the border between Colombia and Venezuela, at an altitude about 1000 masl. This tarantula inhabits relatively humid environments with an annual mean temperature about 24 °C.
