Etymology. The specific epithet is a noun in apposition taken from the type locality, Los Ríos Province, Ecuador.

Diagnosis. Males are distinguished from most Ochyrocera by their unique color pattern ( Fig. 33 View FIGURES 33 – 35 ) and by the two twists in the male embolus ( Fig. 35 View FIGURES 33 – 35 ) from O. sandovalae by their shorter embolus not reaching the cymbium ( Fig. 34 View FIGURES 33 – 35 ).

Description. Male: Total length: 2.0; carapace length: 0.8; carapace width: 0.8.

PROSOMA: Carapace pyriform, narrowing abruptly anteriorly; shiny, yellow with brownish median bands and two lateral blackish spots; pars cephalica slightly elevated ( Fig. 33 View FIGURES 33 – 35 ). Sternum light yellow, suffused evenly with dark gray; as long as wide; with extremely long setae. Endites light yellow; labium light yellow, suffused with dark gray; notch. Clypeus sloping with wide, blueish-gray band medially; high (4x PME). Chelicerae light yellow; apically with blueish tinge; promargin one large tooth apically, followed by a series of seven teeth attached to the lamina; retromargin without denticles. EYES: Six eyes surrounded by black pigmentation about equal size; PME rounded, contiguous; PME-ALE slightly separated; ALE rounded contiguous with PLE; PLE rounded ( Fig. 33 View FIGURES 33 – 35 ). OPISTHOSOMA: Cylindrical; light yellow with dark brownish pattern ( Fig. 33 View FIGURES 33 – 35 ); tracheal spiracle half way between epigastric furrow and spinnerets. LEGS: Greenish; apical 1/3 of femur, patella, tibia, metatarsus and tarsus dark greenish-blue; metatarsus and tarsus with white rings pigmentation appearing as pseudosegmentation; leg II and IV missing; legs total length: I: 13; III: 6.5. GENITALIA: Palpal femur long, tip with blueish mark ( Fig. 35 View FIGURES 33 – 35 ); palpal patella greenish-blue; palpal tibia not enlarged basally; with two dorsal, two retrolateral trichobothria ( Figs 34, 35 View FIGURES 33 – 35 ). Cymbium conical with lobed extension prolaterally ( Fig. 35 View FIGURES 33 – 35 ); retrolateral apophysis elongated bearing cuspule at its apical end ( Figs 34, 35 View FIGURES 33 – 35 ). Bulb spherical ( Fig. 35 View FIGURES 33 – 35 ). Embolus elongated, flexed at base and projecting forward, flagellum-liked, with two twists basally, apically darker ( Fig. 35 View FIGURES 33 – 35 ); sperm duct narrowing 1/2 from beginning to the tip of embolus with one loose loop ( Figs 34, 35 View FIGURES 33 – 35 ).
