Paradysderina consuelo , new species Figures 85–97

TYPES: Male holotype and female allotype taken under rotten palm at Consuelo, Manu Road, km 165, Cusco, Peru (Oct. 6, 1982; L. Watrous, G. Mazurek), deposited in FMNH (PBI_OON 38413) .

ETYMOLOGY: The specific name is a noun in apposition taken from the type locality.

DIAGNOSIS: Males can be recognized by the short embolus, originating from an unsclerotized circle on the surface of the cymbium, with a weakly sclerotized, straight basal portion and a sharply hooked, distally bifid distal portion (figs. 88–91), females by the pentagonal sclerotization occupying most of the genital atrium (figs. 95–97).

MALE (PBI_OON 10093, figs. 85–91): Total length 1.34. Elevated portion of pars cephalica granulate. Chilum small triangular. Anterior ledge of paturon with slight tubercle on inner margin. Endites with wide, blunt ventral process, dorsal process narrow, sharply pointed. Leg spination: femora I p0-0-2; tibiae: I v4-4-2, II v4-4-0; metatarsi I, II v2-2- 1p. Palps symmetrical; embolus small, hook shaped, only distal part heavily sclerotized.

FEMALE (PBI_OON 10093, figs. 92–97): Total length 1.52. Postepigastric scutum only around epigastric furrow, fused to epigastric scutum. Leg spination: femora: I p0-0-2, II p0-0-1; tibiae: I v4-4-2, II v4-4-1p; metatarsi I, II v2-2- 1p. Most of genital atrium occupied by pentagonal sclerotization.
