( Figures 59–61 View Figure 59 View Figure 60 View Figure 61 , 78F View Figure 78 ; Table 20 View Table 20 )
Types
Female holotype ( MUSM-ENT 0514015 , exuvia RKCP 0685 ) from Peru, Cuzco province, Quincemil , 746 m a .s .l ., 18 October 2014, R . Kaderka col.
Etymology
The specific name is a patronym in honour of Jana Kaderkova, wife of the first author, for her patience and support, and also her indulgence of his unusual hobby.
Diagnosis
The females of U. johannae sp. n. differ from all congeners, except for U. ashaninka sp. n., in having oval seminal receptacles basally joined ( Figure 61 View Figure 61 ). It differs from U. ashaninka sp. n. in a different colouration, the absence of type III urticating setae and the extension of urticating setae patch in females (more extended in U. johannae sp. n. and less extended in U. ashaninka sp. n.) ( Figures 37C View Figure 37 and 60D View Figure 60 ).
Distribution and natural history
Known from the type locality in Quincemil , Cuzco, Peru ( Figure 76 View Figure 76 ) .

Abdomen: urticating setae of type IV are located in a large oval central patch. PLS: length 4.63, basal segment 1.72, middle segment 1.40, apical segment 1.51, all digitiform. PMS: 1.09.
Colouration and covering setae: dorsal view: ( Figure 59 View Figure 59 ) carapace sparsely covered with short golden pubescence, edge of carapace with long pale setae, coxae, trochantera, femora, patellae, tibiae, metatarsi and tarsi brown, intermixed with long, pale setae. Patellae I, II, palpal patella, femora I–IV, palpal femora, tibiae I–IV and palpal tibiae with two almost equal parallel longitudinal stripes without covering setae, patellae III, IV with two unequal diagonal stripes. Femora I–IV and palpal femora retrolaterally with one longitudinal stripe without covering setae.
