Type material. Male holotype from Coaraci (Fazenda Boa Esperança) [14°38ʹ27ʺS, 39°33ʹ0 3ʺW], Bahia, Brazil, 17.I.1970, CEPLAC, deposited in MNRJ 13379. Paratypes: 2 females, same data as holotype, deposited in IBSP 163490 and MNRJ; 1 male from Itagibá [14°17ʹ0 2ʺS, 39°50ʹ34ʺW], Bahia, Brazil, I.1978, deposited in IBSP 163489; 1 male and 1 female from Jequié [13°51ʹ28ʺS, 40°05ʹ0 2ʺW], Bahia, Brazil, VII.2006, L. Boccardo, deposited in IBSP 163251.

Etymology. “ Acarajé ” is a typical meal of the Bahia culinary tradition and also plays a role in the religious ritual of Candomblé. It is made with a special type of bean (fradinho), onions and salt, fried in a special palm oil (“dendê” oil from the Elaeis guineensis Jacq. ). The meal is served with pepper, dried shrimp, “ Vatapá ”, “ Caruru ” or salad.

Diagnosis. Males of Celaetycheus acaraje sp. nov. ( Figs 7A–B View FIGURE 7. A – D ) resemble those of C. bobo sp. nov. ( Figs 9A–B View FIGURE 9. A – D ) by the straight median apophysis and with a ventral cup-shaped projection, but can be distinguished from C. bobo by the thinner embolus and presence of a small additional tegular projection ( Fig. 7A View FIGURE 7. A – D ). Females of C. acaraje sp. nov. ( Figs 7C–D View FIGURE 7. A – D ) can be distinguished from the remaining species of the genus by the narrow median sector of the epigynum, elongated and strongly constricted in the median area and by the large fertilization ducts.

Epigynum ( Figs 7C–D View FIGURE 7. A – D ): median sector arrow-shaped; lateral sectors with lateral lobes; head of spermathecae round and base of spermathecae round and larger than the head of spermathecae.

Distribution. Coaraci, Itagibá and Jequié, State of Bahia, northeast of Brazil ( Fig. 15 View FIGURE 15 B).
