Note.
Uaiuara jayuyae
is known solely from a juvenile specimen. Nevertheless, the original description and illustrations clearly place it within the genus
Uaiuara
, especially the coloration pattern of the dorsal habitus and the presence of nine pairs of ventral spines on tibiae I–II. To date,
Uaiuara
is the only Neotropical
Sparianthinae
genus with more than three pairs of spines on ventral tibiae I–II.
