Type material: Holotype: male from Quebrada el Ayo, La Pedrera, Amazonas, Colombia (01°35’N, 68°31’W), May 2002, J. Pinzon leg. ( ICN, PBI _OON 44340). Paratype: one female, same data as holotype ( ICN, PBI _OON 44341).

Etymology. The specific name is a toponym in apposition referring to Puré River, which runs through the type locality.

Diagnosis. Males resemble those of N. petrogoblin (See Abrahim et al. 2012, fig. 171) and N. gregoblin (See Abrahim et al. 2012, fig. 105) by the presence of four spikes on carapace posterior surface ( Fig. 227 View FIGURES 227 – 236 ), but differ from those of N. petrogoblin (See Abrahim et al. 2012, fig. 170) by the presence of pits on sternal surface ( Fig. 231 View FIGURES 227 – 236 ) and from those of N. gregoblin (See Abrahim et al. 2012, fig. 105) by the lateral margin of carapace with small denticles ( Fig. 227 View FIGURES 227 – 236 ). Females resemble those of N. termitophilus (See Abrahim et al. 2012, fig. 159), N. petrogoblin (See Abrahim et al. 2012, fig. 193) and N. gregoblin (See Abrahim et al. 2012, fig. 129) by the presence of four spikes on carapace posterior surface ( Fig. 252 View FIGURES 245 – 255 ), but differ from those of N. termitophilus and N. petrogoblin by the presence of pits on sternal surface ( Fig. 250 View FIGURES 245 – 255 ) and from those of N. gregoblin (See Abrahim et al. 2012, fig. 129) by the lateral margin of carapace with small denticles ( Fig. 248 View FIGURES 245 – 255 ).

Description. Male (PBI_OON 44328): total length 1.55. Cephalothorax: carapace orange-brown, broadly oval, pars cephalica slightly elevated, posterolateral surface with two pairs of spikes, surface and sides smooth ( Fig. 229 View FIGURES 227 – 236 ); lateral margin with small denticles. Clypeus margin slightly reborded, straight in front view, high ( Fig. 232 View FIGURES 227 – 236 ). Sternum longer than wide, orange-brown, radial furrows deep and with rows of small pits, surface smooth covered with small round pits ( Figs 231 View FIGURES 227 – 236 , 241 View FIGURES 237 – 244 ). Chelicerae, endites and labium orange-brown. Abdomen: book lung covers large and ovoid. Dorsal scutum orange-brown, middle surface and sides smooth, anterior half with projecting denticles ( Figs 230 View FIGURES 227 – 236 , 237 View FIGURES 237 – 244 ). Epigastric and postepigastric scutum orange-brown. Legs: pale orange. Leg spination: tibia I v4-4 -0; metatarsus I v4-4 -0. Genitalia: epigastric region with sperm pore small and oval; palp proximal articles, bulb and cymbium yellow; embolus rounded ( Fig. 7 View FIGURES 3 – 12 ), without prolateral prong or lamella ( Fig. 244 View FIGURES 237 – 244 ), apical process poorly developed ( Figs 233–236 View FIGURES 227 – 236 , 244 View FIGURES 237 – 244 ).

Female (PBI_OON 44342): total length 1.80. Cephalothorax: carapace dark red-brown ( Fig. 248 View FIGURES 245 – 255 ).
