Luna (ICN-Ar-9961); Ricaurte, Reserva Natural La Planada (1°9′14.54″N; 77°58′50.55″W), ♁1, ♀ 1, 14.III.1992, C. Valderrama leg. ( MCN 24208) .

Diagnosis. Males of Patrera fulvastra , resemble those of P. anchicaya n. sp. by their elongated cymbium, prominent subtegular projection, and robust and long embolus with a short posterior projection on the base ( Fig. 1 C–E; Brescovit 1997: 146, figs 46–50), but can be distinguished by having only a conical projection on posterior side of the base of the embolus and long and thin retrolateral tibial apophysis (shorter and wider in P. anchicaya ) ( Fig. 1 C–E). Females resemble those of P. anchicaya , by their anteriorly elongated hood and spermathecae posteromedially situated ( Brescovit 1997: 146, figs 51–52), but can be distinguished by wider atrial cavities, wider lateral borders (thinner in P. anchicaya ), extending to medial region of epigynum, and small spermathecae (larger in P. anchicaya ) ( Fig. 1 F–G).

Description: Male and female described by Brescovit, 1997: 34–35.

Distribution. Known from its type locality in Pichincha, Ecuador and Nariño department, Colombia ( Fig. 30 ).
