Diagnosis

Males of Idiops pirassununguensis differ from those of other Neotropical species by having the tibial apophysis with a robust apical branch and a prominent spine in prolateral view ( Figs 27H–I , 28C ), metatarsus I long with a prolateral projection on the apical half ( Fig. 27I ) and the embolus with a prominent lamella that expands along the apical half, with a constriction near the sperm duct opening ( Figs 27D–F , 28E–F ). Females differ by having the spermathecae with long vertical ducts, and strong sclerotization on the transition between duct and receptacula, with the same diameter as ducts ( Fig. 27L ).
