Diagnosis. Females of Kiekie antioquia ( Fig. 14 View FIGURE 14 A–B) resemble those of K. sinuatipes ( Fig. 5 View FIGURE 5 A–B) by the large median field of the epigynum, but it can be distinguished by the narrow median field and elongated and narrow lateral projections. Internally, it can be distinguished by smaller spermathecae and sinuous copulatory ducts.
