Orchestina sp. : Burger et al., 2010: 102.

TYPES: Male holotype from Argentina: Jujuy: Departamento Ledesma: Parque Nacional Calilegua , Seccional Aguas Negras , 605 m, -23.76194°, -64.85111°, Jan. 27, 2009, to Jan. 31, 2009, M. Izquierdo, L. Zapata and M. Akmentins, deposited in MACN 30751, PBI_OON 42754 ; same data, 1 male, 7 females, 13 juvenile paratypes deposited in MACN 18016, PBI_OON 14895 ; same data, 800 m, El Cortaderal, Km 6, Dec. 18, 1987, to Dec. 28, 1987, S. and J. Peck, 1 male paratype deposited in AMNH, PBI_OON 1654 .

ETYMOLOGY: The specific name is a noun in apposition taken from the ucumar , which means “bear” in Quichua and Aymara languages. The term has been associated with the spectacled bear ( Tremarctos ornatus ), which may be responsible for the legendary ucumar , a Bigfoot-like creature, half man half bear, that snatches away women and forces them to live with him in his cave.

DIAGNOSIS: Males can be distinguished by the combination of a strongly projected clypeus (fig. 179B), long chelicerae (fig. 179C) and the short embolus flanked by a short apophysis (figs. 184A–E, 194A–C, 196A, C). Females can be distinguished by the presence of two depressions on the epigastric region, slightly below the booklung covers (figs. 195A, LD in 197C), by the shape of the anterior receptaculum, massive anteriorly with a basal, less sclerotized additional chamber with sinuous lumen (figs. 195D, 197C).

MALE (PBI_OON 14895): Total length 1.2. Habitus as in figure 179A–C. CEPHALOTHO- RAX: Clypeus strongly sloping forward in lateral view (fig. 179B). Sternum as in figure 179D. Chelicerae long (fig. 179C, 181). Labium rectangular (fig. 180C, F). Labrum small with one dorsal setae (fig. 180B). Endites anteromedian tip with one strong, curved projection (fig. 180A, D, E).

LEGS: Orange. Leg spination, metatarsi: IV d0-0-1; p0-0-1; r0-0-1; tarsal organs, trichobothria as described for genus (fig. 183). GENITA- LIA: Bulb yellow to pale orange, tapering apically; embolus short, with short projection near base; sperm duct slightly coiled (figs. 184, 194A–C, 196A, C, E).

FEMALE (PBI_OON 14895): Total length 1.5. Habitus as in figure 179E–G. CEPHALOTHO- RAX: Clypeus not strongly projected forward. Chelicerae comparatively shorter than in males.

ABDOMEN: Dorsum soft portions yellow. Spinnerets: ALS with two spigots (SEM not provided). LEGS: Spination, metatarsi: IV d0-0-1; p0-0-1; r0-0-1. Tarsal organ, trichobothria, palp as described for the genus (fig. 182A–G). Metatarsus, tarsus II with modified setae on prolateral margin (fig. 182H, I). GENITALIA: As in diagnosis, without external or internal pockets; anterior apodemes short; posterior receptaculum absent, posterior apodeme formed by entire plate (figs. 185A–F, 195A, D, 197C).

NATURAL HISTORY: The reproductive behavior of this species has been studied by Burger et al. (2010). The different steps of the behavior are not complex and the position during copulation is similar to other haplogynes in which the male is placed below the female with the clypeus facing the females’ sternum. Both palps are inserted simultaneously.

DISTRIBUTION: Known from Brazil (Minas Gerais), Bolivia (Chuquisaca), and northern Argentina (Jujuy and Formosa provinces) (fig. 198C, D, map 28 View MAP 28 ).
