DIAGNOSIS. — Males of S. chavarii Ghirotto & Indicatti , n. sp. resemble those of S. crassimana , S. palmar , S. sevegnaniae and S. tenuistyla by the palpal bulb with thin, filiform embolus ( Fig. 14 View FIG A-D, J). It can be distinguished from S. sevegnaniae and S. tenuistyla by the curved embolus at the tip ( Fig. 14 View FIG A-D, J); from S. crassimana by the palpal duct much less curved in medial region ( Fig. 14B, D View FIG ) and lacking stains ventrally on abdomen ( Fig. 14D View FIG ); from S. palmar by the palpal tibia with 2 spines on prolateral-medial region ( Fig. 14E View FIG ) and presence of ITC on legs III, IV. Females can be distinguished from the remaining species of the genus, except from S. quena Goloboff, 1995 , by the presence of metatarsal preening combs on leg I and on VP and VR sides of leg II; differs from S. quena and resembles S. platensis Holmberg, 1881 and S. iguazu by the spermathecae with two independent bases on each side ( Fig. 16 View FIG ) and prolateral spines 1-1-1 on patella III; differs from them by the elongated basal dome, metatarsal preening combs on all legs and anterior eye row slightly recurved ( Fig. 15A View FIG ).
ETYMOLOGY. — The specific name is a patronym in honor of João Lucas Chavari, friend of the last authors and collector of several mygalomorph spiders from Brazil.

VARIATION. — Males (n = 15): total length 8.26-10.94; carapace 3.71-5.10 long; labium with 0-2 cuspules; maxillae with 46-58 cuspules, sometimes elongated.
DISTRIBUTION. — Known only from the type locality, Fazenda Experimental Edgárdia, Botucatu, São Paulo state, Brazil.
HABITAT. — These spiders were collected by pitfall traps in ecotonal zones between seasonal forest (Cerrado) and Atlantic Forest ( Fig. 17A, B View FIG ), in Fazenda Experimental Edgárdia, where both vegetation types are present. In addition, they were also captured in restoration and pasture areas, which have similar local conditions to Cerrado formations, indicating that the species probably also occur in strictly Cerrado areas, as S. bodoquena Ghirotto & Indicatti , n. sp.
