Indicatti.   Etymology.The specific name (in apposition) is a combination of the Tupi words acanga(head) and îuba(yellow), in reference to the common name in Portuguese “cabeça-de-manteiga” (=butter-head) used by the authors to refer to this species (due to the guanine crystals seen through the translucent cephalic region).   Diagnosis.The males differ from those of the other species of the genus by the shape of the embolus, which starts ribbon-like ( Figs 7A‒7B, 29A) and end with a long whip-like tip ( Fig. 29B). The females can be distinguished by the thin median septum in the epigyne ( Fig. 29D).   Description. Male ( holotype).Total length: 3.30. Carapace 1.57 long, 1.15 wide, 0.92 high. Ocular quadrangle 1.00 long. Anterior and posterior eye row 1.08 wide. Chelicera paturon with one promarginal and one retromarginal tooth, both bicuspid. Length of femur: I 0.94, II 0.79, III 0.75, IV 0.93; patella + tibia: I 1.30, II 0.99, III 0.85, IV 1.08; metatarsus + tarsus: I 0.91, II 0.81, III 0.87, IV 1.04. Leg formula: 1423. Leg spination: femur I‒ II d1-1-1, p1di, r0; III‒IV d1-1-1, p1di, r1di; patella I‒IV p1, r1; tibia I p0, r0, v2-0-2a-2; II p0, r0, v1r-2a-2; III p0- 1-0, r0-1-0 (r0-1-1 right), v1pdi ( v2di right); IV p0-1-0, r0-1-0 (r1-1-1 right), v2adi; metatarsus I‒II v2-2; III‒IV p2di, r2di, v2di. Palp ( Figs 29A‒29C): tibia wider than long, RTA triangular and hook-shaped, RvTA rounded; embolus with a membranous part with a path of 490° (1T+130°), followed by a posterior loop of the spermduct continuing ventro-retrolaterally forming a U-shaped coil and ending with the tip at the retrolateral side ( Figs 29A‒ 29B). Color in alcohol: carapace brown with some white scales, intestinal diverticula can be seen through translucent cuticle ( Figs 28A‒28B), abdomen white with dark dorsal markings. Legs with striped pattern ( Figs 28A‒28C).  Female.Total length: 3.80. Carapace 1.57 long, 1.19 wide, 0.88 high. Ocular quadrangle 1.04 long. Anterior and posterior eye row 1.11 wide. Chelicera paturon with three promarginal teeth, the middle one bicuspid, and three curved retromarginal teeth. Length of femur: I 0.82, II 0.76, III 0.74, IV 0.98; patella + tibia: I 1.00, II 0.88, III 0.82, IV 1.14; metatarsus + tarsus: I 0.72, II 0.68, III 0.83, IV 1.02. Leg formula: 4132. Leg spination: femur I‒ II d1-1-1, p1di, r0; III d1-1-1, p1di, r0 (r1di right); IV d1-1-1, p0, r0; patella I‒II 0; III p1 (p0 right), r1; IV p0, r1; tibia I p0 (p0-0-1 right), r0, v2a-2-2; II p0-0-1, r0, v0-2-1p; III p0-1-0, r0-1-0 (r0-0-1 right), v1pdi; IV p0-0-1, r0-1- 1 (r0-0-1 right), v2di; metatarsus I‒II v2-2; III p2di, r2di, v1pdi; IV p2di, r2di (r1di right), v1pdi (v0 right). Epigyne ( Figs 29D‒29E): posterior edge slightly bilobed, copulatory openings medially placed, leading to a membranous and convoluted duct followed by a sclerotized duct, ending at the spermathecae. Color in alcohol: as in male, but lighter ( Fig. 28); the dark rings on the legs are more conspicuous.   Distribution.Only known from Brazil.  Natural history.Some specimens were collected on live tree trunks and on dry vines. 1703280284 1998-04 IBSP Male Brazil -19.57 Passo do Lontra 763 -57.03 Corumba 38 339 IBSP 21590 2 Mato Grosso do Sul holotype 1703280278 1998-06 IBSP Raizer & One Brazil -19.57 Abobral 763 -57.03 Corumba 38 339 IBSP 86162 1 Miranda paratype 1703280272 2012-12-20 MPEG Brazil Algodoal -2.210028 Varzea Piranha 1 -56.122414 Juruti 38 339 MPEG 30604 2 2 Para 1703280271 2006-12-12 MPEG L.
