Diagnosis
Males can be distinguished from all congeneric species by their elongated, serrated palpal retrolateral tibial apophysis with small dorsal spur ( Fig. 23 View Figs 22 – 26 ) and from Katissa yaya sp. nov. by features mentioned in the description. Females are distinguished by their elongated V-shaped epigynal Fap (Fig. 25).
Etymology
The speciFc name is in honor of the Ecuadorian painter, Oswold Guayasamin, in recognition of his unique art work, portraying the struggle of the Mestizo and indigenous people of Ecuador.
