Beebe et al.leg. ( AMNH).   Paratype: VENEZUELA:  Carabobo: 1♀, Parque Nacional San Esteban[ 10.3908, ‑ 67.9802], near Maracay,  26 January 1940, P. Andruzeleg. ( AMNH).   Etymology.The specific name refers to type locality of the paratype; noun in apposition.   Diagnosis. Males of  M. carabobo  spec. nov.are distinguished from those of other congeners by the palp with embolus roughtly straight lacking any projections or membranous areas ( Figs 127, 129). Females resemble those of  M. arraijan  spec. nov.( Figs 121–123) by the epigyne with EF bearing a long, transversal anterior groove and EP opening posteriorly on MS. They are distinguished from the latter species by the MS widest medially and EP with anterior margin surpassing half MS length ( Fig. 130) (MS widest anteriorly and EP with anterior margin not surpassing half MS length in  M. arraijan  spec. nov.).   Description. Male ( holotype):Total length 12.8. Prosoma: 5.7 long, 5.2 wide. Opisthosoma: 6.9 long, 4.2 wide. Eyes: diameters: 0.45, 0.37, 0.25, 0.37; interdistances: 0.23, 0.10, 0.50, 0.50, 0.28, 0.20. Legs: I: 33.2 (9.0, 3.1, 9.0, 9.8, 2.3); II: 36.9 (10.0, 3.3, 10.4, 10.9, 2.3); III: 23.4 (6.2, 2.6, 6.5, 6.4, 1.7); IV: 27.9 (8.2, 2.5, 7.4, 7.9, 1.9). Spination follows the generic pattern except tibiae I–II: d1-0-1; metatarsus IV: r1-1-2. Palp: PTA triangular, as long as wide; RTA gutter-shaped, slightly widened distally and blunt, roughly 2 times longer than its widest part (retrolateral view); cymbium with small retro proximal projection; subtegulum barely visible between 11–12 o’clock in ventral view ( Figs 126–129, 133–135).  Female ( paratype):Total length 13.9. Prosoma 5.6 long, 5.8 wide. Opisthosoma 7.3 long, 4.5 wide. Eyes: diameters: 0.40, 0.35, 0.30, 0.35; interdistances: 0.38, 0.25, 0.55, 0.62, 0.36, 0.25. Legs: I: 24.3 (7.0, 3.0, 6.2, 6.4, 1.7); II: - (7.5, 3.0, 7.0, 6.9, rest of leg absent); III: - (5.8, rest of leg absent); IV: absent. Epigyne: EF roughly as wide as long; MAB short and narrow; MS tear-shaped, widest medially; EP triangular, longer than wide, opening slightly anterior to posterior margin of MS; LL touching posteriorly ( Figs 130, 136). Vulva: internal ducts with FW not dilated, postero laterad; GP rounded, slightly longer than wide, arising from ducts at first turn; antero laterad; SP spherical; FD antero laterad ( Figs 131–132, 137).   Distribution.Known from northern Venezuela( Fig. 315). 3861775534 1946-05-30 AMNH W.
