( Figs. 50–55 View FIGURE 50 View FIGURE 51 View FIGURE 52 View FIGURE 53 View FIGURE 54 View FIGURE 55 , 132 View FIGURE 132 )

Glenognatha gaujoni Simon, 1895: 151 View in CoL (male holotype from Loja, Ecuador, Gaujon leg., deposited in MNHN, examined); Cabra-García et al. 2014: 1029, figs. 1 A –B, 1H, 2I, 7G, 9E–F; World Spider Catalog 2015.

Diagnosis. Males of G. gaujoni resemble those of G. globosa and G. patriceae by the presence of thin pleural bars between coxae II–III ( Fig. 50C View FIGURE 50 ) and by the slender palpal tibia (longer than 1.5 times the maximum tibia width) ( Figs. 52 A, E View FIGURE 52 ). It can be distinguished from the two latter species by the presence of scale-shaped projections in the dorsal surface of the embolus ( Figs. 54K–L View FIGURE 54 ). Females are diagnosed by the presence of anterior tooth, ectal apophysis and CFO on the chelicerae ( Figs. 51D–F View FIGURE 51 ).

Abdomen greyish, dorsally with black patches arranged in two longitudinal bands. Silver guanine spots scattered in the dorsal and lateral surfaces. Venter with black median patch between the epigastric furrow and the petiole. Silver guanine spots scattered between the tracheal spiracle and the epigastric furrow. Tracheal spiracle well-sclerotized. Legs yellow-brownish. Pleural bars between coxae I–II, II–III and III–IV. Total length 3.60. Cephalothorax 1.55 long, 1.17 wide, 0.95 high.
