Etymology. The epithet is a noun in apposition that honors the Cacique Guaitipán (or better known by her Spanish name transliteration, Gaitana), one of the maximum leaders and lady of the indigenous people that inhabited the central and eastern region of the Central Mountain Range of the Colombian Andes, among which are the Andaquí, Avirama, Guanaca, Páez, Pinao, Pijao, Timaná and Yalcón people. Indigenous heroin, renowned by her brave and fierce defense of their territories against the Spanish invaders.

Diagnosis. Males of A. guaitipan sp. nov. are similar to those of A. sikuani sp. nov. and A. tanimuca sp. nov. by the shape of the RTA. However, they can be distinguished from those by their wider RTA, with the retro-dorsal lobe longer and wider, and the retro-ventral lobe turned prolaterally, with a retrolateral macroseta at its base ( Figs 4a–b View FIGURES 4 , 20h–I View FIGURES 20 ). Females of A. guaitipan sp. nov. are similar to those of A. quinini sp. nov. by their general disposition of internal structures of the epigyne, but they can be distinguished from those by their shorter copulatory ducts, with the posterior epigynal border not concave, and a rounded epigynal pocket ( Figs 4c–d View FIGURES 4 , 24c, 24i View FIGURES 24 ).

Legs 4132, the first two pairs brown and the two posterior ones yellow, all with black rings. Leg macrosetae: femur, I–II d 1 di; III–IV d 2 di; tibia, I v 2-2 -2; II v 1-2 -1, p 1 di; III–IV v 1 pr, p 0-1-1, r 0- 1-1; metatarsus, I v 2-2; II v 2-2, p 1 di; III v 1 -0-1, p 1-0-2, r 1-0-2; IV p 2 di, r 1-0-2.

Anterior eye row 1.18 wide and posterior 1.11 wide. Sternum brown, 0.67 long, 0.52 wide. Labium brown, 0.19 long, 0.29 wide. Chelicerae brown, with five retromarginal and two promarginal teeth. Legs 4312, all yellow with black marks. Leg macrosetae: femur, I–II, IV d 1 di; III d 2 di; patellae, III–IV r 1 me; tibiae, I v 2-2 -2; II v 2-2 -2, p 1 di; III v 1 pr, p 1-1, r 1-1; IV v 1 pr, p 1-0, r 1-1; metatarsus, I v 2-2; II 2-2, p 1 di; III–IV v 1 -0-1, p 1-0-2, r 1-0-2. Abdomen brown with a light gray reticulated pattern ( Fig. 16g View FIGURES 16 ). Epigyne ( Figs 4c–d View FIGURES 4 , 24c, 24i View FIGURES 24 ) with anterior copulatory openings, concave disposition of the anterior section of the copulatory ducts, oval anterior spermathecae, and posterior single and rounded pocket.
