The male genitalia were first described by Baert (1987: fig. 25 A – D), and then in Baert et al. (2023: figs 31–34). For the purpose of this work, the species is defined by the male morphology as redescribed by Baert et al. (2023). The designation of a neotype may be considered in future works if the original types cannot be located, to further secure nomenclatural stability.</p><p>Material examined.</p><p>Ecuador • 1 ♀, Galapagos, Isla Marchena, Playa Negra (-0.3007°, -90.5077°), 28 Apr. 2005 (N. Chasiliquin leg.) (ICCDRS 55584) . • 1 ♂, Galapagos, Isla Santa Cruz, Bahia Tortuga (-0.7604°, -90.332°), 07 Mar. 1995, (A. Mejia leg.) (ICCDRS 55585) .</p><p>Complementary description.</p><p>Spermathecae with long and straight receptacle necks, originating laterally on the outer side of the receptacle base; necks thick and robust, nearly as wide as the distal receptacles; conspicuous glandular areas present at the external base of the neck and on the anteromedial surface of the receptacle base (Fig. 1 B, C).</p><p>Distribution.</p><p>The species is known only from the Galapagos Archipelago in Ecuador, where it has a wide distribution within the archipelago: Champion, Daphne, Española, Floreana, Gardner near Española, Genovesa, Isabela (Alcedo Volcano, Darwin Volcano, Wolf Volcano, Ecuador Volcano), Marchena, Pinta, Pinzón, San Cristóbal, Santa Cruz, Santa Fé, Santiago, Wolf (Baert et al. 2023).</p><p>Remarks.</p><p>This species shares the general spermathecal pattern with Pikelinia floydmuraria sp. nov.; however, the ducts are much thicker and straighter (Fig. 1 B, C), rather than slender and strongly S-shaped (Fig. 3 E). Additionally, the abdominal coloration pattern of females differs in P. fasciata, the abdomen bears thin, well-defined transverse bands forming an inverted V (Fig. 1 A) and isolated from one another, whereas in P. floydmuraria, the bands have irregular edges, are poorly defined, and are interconnected by a medial longitudinal line (Fig. 2 H).</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/D7D804A629FE568084817129CF2DA00E	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Males are distinguished from P. fasciata by the concolor leg pattern (vs. annulate) and the abdominal pattern of an irregular longitudinal central blotch (vs. two anterior pale spots and five transversal bands). Females are differentiated by the spermathecae with long, slender, S-shaped receptacle necks (vs. shorter, stouter, and C-shaped in P. fasciata).</p><p>Etymology.</p><p>The specific epithet “ floydmuraria ” is a neologism derived from “ Floyd ” (honoring the band Pink Floyd) and “ muraria ” (from Latin mūrus, wall), alluding to both the album “ The Wall ” and the species’ wall-dwelling habitat.</p><p>Description.</p><p>Male (holotype CIUQ -026402). Carapace moderate greenish yellow with lateral borders, thoracic groove and ocular area dark olive brown (Fig. 2 A, B). Sternum, light greenish yellow (Fig. 2 C), chelicerae dark yellow and anterior portion of the labium dark greenish yellow (Fig. 2 C). Legs moderate greenish yellow (Fig. 2 A).

Metatarsus II with a pair of large macrosetae (Figs 2 F, 2 G, 3 C, 3 D) on a cuticular outgrowth. Tarsus with some proximal ventral large setae (Fig. 2 F, G). Abdomen 2.2 long. Palp: 0.8, 0.4, 0.8 long, 0.3 wide; bulb 0.3 long, embolus 0.3 long. Palp: femur subcylindrical and slightly curved; tibia 2 × times longer cymbium, and slightly short than femur, with membranous area in the prolateral side and with retrodistal process large and curved; cymbium short; bulb globose and short, and embolus elongated and curved (Figs 2 D, 2 E, 3 A, 3 B).</p><p>Female (paratype CIUQ -026403). Coloration as in male, except for the carapace pattern, which consists of two irregular dark lines behind the eyes, converging towards the posterior half of the carapace, and the dorsal abdominal coloration, which exhibits a pattern of an irregular longitudinal central blotch with lateral expansions (Fig. 2 H). Total length 3.1. Carapace 1.1 long, 0.9 wide. Sternum as in male. Eye diameters: PME 0.07, separated by about 2 × diameters. Pedipalp: length 0.6, patella 0.1, tibia 0.4, tarsus 0.3. Legs measurements: I: 1.1, 0.3, 1.1, 0.7, 0.5, 3.7; II: 1, 0.2, 0.8, 0.5, 0.3, 2.8; III: 0.6, 0.2, 0.6, 0.5, 0.3, 2.2; IV: 1.3, 0.2, 0.6, 0.8, 0.3, 3.2. Pedipalp hirsute. Abdomen 1.5. Spermathecae with long, slender, S-shaped receptacle necks, globose receptacles; necks originating laterally on the outer side of the receptacle base. Receptacle bases thumb-shaped, bearing abundant glandular pores (Fig. 3 E)</p><p>Variation.</p><p>Males (N = 2): total length 3‒4.2 (average 3.6); carapace 1.4‒1.7 (average 1.6); femur I 2.8‒4.5 (average 3.7). Females (N = 7): total length 2.4‒3.9 (average 3.2); carapace 0.7‒1.4 (average 1.1); femur I 0.7‒1.6 (average 1.2).</p><p>Distribution.</p><p>Known only from the department of Tolima (Fig. 4).</p><p>Natural history.</p><p>Spiders were found associated with urban environments, particularly in walls next to streetlights (Fig. 5 E, F) where observed concentrations reached 20–30 individuals / m 2 (including juveniles). No specimens were found in natural conditions (i. e. far from urban habitats). Only specimens of Pikelinia sp. from Popayan were found in rural areas but also associated with anthropic conditions.</p><p>Prey records.</p><p>In our analysis of Pikelinia floydmuraria sp. nov. prey records, we identified a total of 66 prey items from five adult females in the Armenia population. In contrast, 103 prey items from 15 adult females were collected in the Ibague population. For the Armenia population, dipterans were the most abundant prey, followed by hymenopterans (mainly ants) and hemipterans. However, the Ibague population showed similar proportions of dipterans, hymenopterans (ants), and coleopterans. Other arthropods collectively constituted less than 10 % of the diet in both groups (Fig. 6 A). Regarding the prey size of the three most consumed orders in the Ibague population, spiders were found to prey on dipterans and coleopterans up to two times their prosoma size more frequently. For hymenopterans, spiders preyed on individuals up to six times their prosoma size, yet hymenopterans were consumed in similar proportions despite the size difference (Fig. 6 B). In the Armenia population, dipterans and hymenopterans consumed in similar sizes (Fig. 6 C). Notably, within dipterans, flies from the Muscidae and Culicidae families were identified but not quantified.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/041104988E6A574BB1C82AAA08D799B7	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
