Type material. Holotype: PERU: Huanuco: ♂, ACP Panguana, Rio Yuyapichis( ‑9.6167, ‑74.9333), 20 September– 7 October 2013, F. Wachtel& E.‑G. Burmeisterleg. ( MUSM). Paratype: 1♂, same locality as holotype, October 2010, E. Dillerleg. ( MUSM).
Etymology.The specific name refers to the typelocality; noun in apposition.
Diagnosis.Males of S. yuyapichis spec. nov.resemble those of S. kaiabi spec. nov.( Figs 13–15) and S. punicea( Figs 45–47) by the palps with embolus arising from tegulum at 4 o’clock position ( Fig. 84). They are distinguished from both species by the embolus base with a retrolateral swing, extending beyond retrocymbial margin ( Fig. 84) (not extending beyond retrocymbial margin in S. kaiabi spec. nov.and S. punicea). Females are unknown.
Description. Male ( holotype):Total length 13.9. Prosoma: 6.6 long, 6.4 wide. Opisthosoma: 7.0 long, 4.3 wide. Eyes: diameters: 0.55, 0.46, 0.35, 0.45; interdistances: 0.30, 0.07, 0.55, 0.56, 0.27, 0.15. Legs: I: 35.5 (9.9, 3.5, 9.2, 10.3, 2.6); II: 37.8 (10.6, 3.6, 10.1, 10.8, 2.7); III: 26.9 (8.3, 3.0, 6.5, 7.1, 2.0); IV: 29.8 (9.0, 2.7, 7.4, 8.4, 2.3). Spination follows the generic pattern except tibia I: d1-0-1; tibia II: d0-0-1. Palp: PTA triangular, as wide as long; RTA two times longer than wide, slightly rounded at tip (in ventral view); subtegulum visible prolaterally in ventral view; tegulum roughly rectangular; conductor four times longer than wide, surpassing anterior margin of alveolus by half its length ( Figs 83–88). Female:Unknown. Variation.Males (n = 2): total length 13.9–14.9; prosoma length 6.5–6.6; femur I length 9.5–9.9.
Distribution.Only known from the typelocality ( Fig. 90).
