The females are distinguished by the spermathecae converging on the median line, touching each other, the obliquely oriented posterior borders of the epigyne and the copulatory ducts anteriorly arched, widening towards the anterior part of vulva (Figs 13E–F, 14E–F, 16).</p><p>Description.

The specific epithet alludes to the high altitudes of the type locality in Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta. It is a noun in genitive.</p><p>Diagnosis. Males can be distinguished from those of other species of Josa by the following combination of characters: bifid external section of the conductor with anterior branch shorter than posterior, which is long and sharp (Figs 19A–B, 20A–B, 21A–B, D, H); embolus describing a loop around basal process, with a thin and long laminar projection (Figs 20C, 21H–I), and bifid median apophysis with many small denticles on external edge (Fig. 21F, see inset). Females of this species are distinguished from those of other species of Josa by the shape of the posterior sclerotized projections of lateral lobes, which are narrow, handle-like, arched, and with deep rounded anterior depressions (Figs 19E, 20D), the median field visible in dorsal view (Figs 19E, 22E–F), small, elongated spermathecae, laterally positioned at the median region of the epigyne (Figs 19E–F, 20E–F, 22).</p><p>Description.

Median apophysis very wide, bifid, with anterior hook-shaped tip, posterior region with a denticulated edge (Fig. 21F). Conductor large, rounded, external section apically bifid (Figs. 19A–B, 20A–B, 21A–B, D), with posterior tip long, sharp, anterior tip shorter with small apical denticles, dorsal section sharp (Fig. 21B).

Abdomen: length 6.08, width 3.96, spiracle–epigastrium 2.15. Color pattern as in male, but more pigmented. Lateral regions of abdomen with many dots. Epigyne: median field transverse, wide, oval in posterior view (Fig. 22E–F). Lateral lobes with sclerotized extensions wide, rounded, with small, rounded concavities at anterior side. Spermathecae small, oval, lateromedially placed. Copulatory ducts long, thin, coiled along longitudinal axis, oriented in parallel, anterior region rounded (Figs 20E, 21A–B). Ducts of accessory bulbs long, convergent (Figs 19E–F, 20E–F, 22).</p><p>Variation: Males (n=5): total length: 7.51–11.35; carapace length: 3.75–4.35, width: 2.72–3.29; abdomen length: 4.31–5.38, width: 1.59–2.62. Females (n=5): total length: 11.18–11.35; carapace length: 5.88–5.98, width: 4.06–4.16; abdomen length: 5.38–6.08, width: 3.65–3.96. The pigmentation and abdominal spots are variable across specimens, the carapace can be darker, and the abdominal spots more defined. The anterior tip of apical region of the external section of the conductor seems broken in some specimens, resulting in an entire and sharp conductor tip.</p><p>Distribution. Only known from Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta, Colombia (Fig. 31).</p><p>Ecological comments. When the high-altitude specimens were collected at 5500 masl, and at several other sites nearby, it was noted that this species was not only present but also abundant and active, a very fast runner on the rocks and snow. The specimens found at 5500 masl were collected from beneath rocks, and the specimen MUSENUV-Ar-2696, found at an altitude of 5275 meters, was caught during the day, near noon, running on the surface of a large rock surrounded by snow and glacial ice; there were no loose rocks for shelter. This species appears to be very abundant in the Páramo of the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta, which may explain the presence of some specimens at high altitudes. However, systematic field sampling is necessary to determine if there are established populations at altitudes above 5000 meters or if these are merely stochastic occurrences.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/4D76240CFFA8FFD462EBFADFFB5CFDE5	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
