Differential diagnosis
The new species resembles Acroterius brevis gen. et sp. nov. ( Fig. 8A–D View Fig ) in having a similar short parmula as in A. camur gen. et sp. nov. and A. longidentatus gen. et sp. nov. and the C-shaped distal part of spermathecae in epigyne ( Fig. 29A–D View Fig ); it can be distinguished by: the posterior projection of the anterior wall of the epigynal plate C-shaped in ventral view, somewhat triangular in lateral view and retained below the lateral margin of anterior wall of the epigyne in the new species ( Fig. 29A–C View Fig ), but beak-shaped in ventral view, protruding above the lateral margin in A. brevis gen. et sp. nov. ( Fig. 8A–C View Fig ). The spermathecae are situated near the median septum ( Fig. 29D View Fig ), but situated away from the median septum in A. brevis gen. et sp. nov. ( Fig. 8D View Fig ). Parmula finger-shaped ( Fig. 29A–C View Fig ), but tongue-shaped in A. brevis gen. et sp. nov. ( Fig. 8A–C View Fig ), anteriorly rectangular and posteriorly spoon-shaped in A. inversus gen. et sp. nov. ( Fig. 22A–C View Fig ) and somewhat triangular in A. camur gen. et sp. nov. ( Fig. 13A–C View Fig ).
Etymology
The species name comes from the Latin adjective ‘ longus ’ + ‘ dentatus ’, meaning ‘long’ + ‘teeth’ and referring to the long and highly sclerotized teeth on the retrolateral margin of the chelicerae in the female.
