Diagnosis

Males and females of U. schmidti gen. et comb. nov. differ from those of the other species by a carapace with large procurve fovea and a cephalic region projected over the same ( Fig. 5A View Fig ), less than 15 stridulatory bristles on palp trochanter, less than 30 stridulatory bristles on leg I ( Fig. 14 View Fig E–F), conspicuous SA and A ( Fig. 13A View Fig ̅B) and tibial apophysis with prolateral reduced branch reduced ( Figs 13C View Fig , 14D View Fig ). Females differ from those of the other species by spermathecae with a cordiform basal area and SR close to each other emerging from the middle basal area ( Fig. 13D View Fig ).
