Remarks.The modified legs of T. bicolorcornutawere originally described from a single, apparently subadult, male specimen, and for this reason the variation in number of femoral spines of leg I are described here. The specimens from Bananeiras ( Paraíba) have 9 femoral spines, as well as the holotype( Fig. 17E). This number may be fewer in subadult males from Cacimba de Dentro ( Paraiba) and Tibau do Sul ( Rio Grande do Norte), as leg I has 4 and 7–8 femoral spines in these specimens respectively. Adults of T. bicolorcornutafrom other localities have between 13–19 femoral spines, similar to T. gladiata, but this latter species can have 24 spines ( Fig. 27E). Consequently, this characteristic cannot be used to separate species ( Table 1)
