Etymology. The specific name is a noun in apposition from the type locality name.

Diagnosis. Males of A. paraitinga differ from those of most species of the genus by the delicate embolus and notable BTA placed medially on prolateral tegular surface. Males differ from those of all other species of the group by the tegulum with a swelling, above PA (visible on both prolateral and retrolateral views) and by the thinner embolus ( Fig. 59 View FIGURE 59 A–C). Females differ from those of other species by a unique combination of characters: two receptacles, each with two lobes; external lobe subtriangular, bigger than internal lobe and the presence on external lateral wall of each receptacle with a slight swelling ( Fig. 59 D View FIGURE 59 ).

Chelicerae with denticles along prolateral row of teeth. Prolateral row with five megateeth and two denticles. Retrolateral row with five megateeth and three teeth between three basal megateeth ( Fig. 55 D View FIGURE 55 ).
