Pickard-Cambridge, 1905 have an elongated ventral plate. However, both genera have a subtle distal cleft in the distal border of the VP, which is not the typical deep cleft seen in the subfamily (e.g., Hexabunus Roewer, 1913, Hutamaia Soares &amp; Soares, 1977, Thaumatocranaus Roewer, 1932). Ampycella fortunata sp. nov. shares the presence of an elongated ventral plate, but it is unique in not having a distal cleft. Additionally, a pair of large, apically pointing MS-D is observed in Ampycella fortunata, which is also observed in some of the genera whose genitalia is known (e.g., Hexabunus, Hernandarioides Pickard-Cambridge, 1905).</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/0B6A1434DA4F56138D4998B0910DCA81	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

From P. palpiconus, the most morphologically similar species, it is distinguished by the ornamentation of the femur IV of the males, having a subdistal large and curved spine and a short distal bifid tubercle (Figs 2E, F, 3H, I) on the prolateral face (absent in P. palpiconus); lack of a retrolateral subdistal spine in the same segment (present in P. palpiconus (Hara et al. 2014: figs 4, 5)); the shape of the VP of the penis, more elongated and with more marked medial constrictions, and the more basal position of MS-A/B groups.</p><p>Description.</p><p>Measurements of body and appendages.

The genital morphology is very similar to V. albipustulata, with slight differences in relation to the shape of the concavity of the truncus (Fig. 8).</p><p>Description.</p><p>Measurements of body and appendages.

Dorsum (Figs 5A, B, 6A, B). DS outline type Gamma pyriform. Mesotergum widest at groove III level; lateral margin of DS with yellow rounded tubercles from carapace to area I, following outline of scutum. Carapace with three or four tubercles on each side of the anterior border. Ocularium low, armed with a paramedian pair of acuminate forward inclined tubercles and some small tubercles near the eyes. Integumentary dome of ozopore raised and conspicuous. Mesotergum well delimited, divided into three well-marked areas: area I divided into two roughly ellipsoidal halves by longitudinal groove, with a paramedian pair of large tubercles and four small tubercles; II penetrating subtly into I, with a median transverse row of eight small tubercles; III with a pair of paramedian acuminate high subparallel spines, located near the posterior margin; vestigial groove between III and IV present, partially blurred and located just behind the spines. Posterior border of DS straight. Free tergites I-III with a pair of paramedian large granules, I to II with one to three smaller laterodistal granules on each side; III armed with a posterior row of 11 tubercles, the paramedian pair much stouter.</p><p>Venter (Figs 5B, C, 6B, C). Coxa I with a row of tubercles of different size; coxa II longer than coxae I and III, with a cluster of distal tubercles of different size; coxa IV strongly backward. Stigmatic area with minute granules sparsely distributed, posterior border with posterodistal process very small. Stigmata large and oval.</p><p>Chelicerae (Figs 5D, 6D). Segment I with well-defined bulla, with a row of four or five tubercles in ectal region. Segment II slightly swollen, with a row of large setiferous tubercles near to the base of the movable finger and a few mesal setiferous tubercles. Fixed finger with three medial teeth, decreasing in size. Movable finger with one large and wide medial tooth, accompanied by two flat, low teeth on each side.</p><p>Pedipalps (Figs 6E, F, 7). Trochanter with tubercles, in dorsal and ventral region. Femur cylindrical, slightly elongated, armed with a longitudinal row of four tubercles in dorsal side and three tubercles in ventral side. Patella short, cylindrical, and curved, with row of tubercles in dorsal view, one ectodistal and two parallel rows of tubercles in mesal view tubercles.</p><p>Legs (Figs 5A-C, 6A, B, G, H). Coxae I and II with one anterior row of large tubercles; III with two rows and IV with two diagonal rows. Trochanter I with two prolateral, two retrolateral and four ventral tubercles; II with two prolateral, two retrolateral and five ventral tubercles; III with four prolateral, two retrolateral and four ventral tubercles; IV with one prolateral, one retrolateral and five ventral tubercles, more conspicuous than those from the other trochanters. Tubercles of trochanter IV more conspicuous than the others. Femora I to III straight, with longitudinal rows of granules; IV curved in its proximal portion, with seven longitudinal rows of tubercles, the retrolateral row with large proximal tubercles, and one large subdistal tubercle on the same row. Patellae I-IV with small tubercles. Tibiae and metatarsi I-V straight and granulate, unarmed. Claws III and IV smooth, with two minute proximal ventral protuberances. Ratio Fe IV/DSL = 1.35. Tarsal process present. Tarsal counts 7(3)-7(3), 14(3)-14(3), 7-7, 7-7.</p><p>Penis (Fig. 8).

MS-A1-A2 straight, located at the distal portion of the VP; MS-B absent; MS-C1-C3 curve, close to each other, and located in the distal part of the VP; MS-D1 larger than MS-C group, curve and located medially to MS-C, MS-D2 absent; MS-E1-E2 small, located on the flange of the VP. Truncus with ventral concavity next to the VP.</p><p>Coloration (in alcohol) (Fig. 5). Carapace, border of the DS, scutal grooves and adjacencies, and free tergites reticulated Dark brown 59, on background Brownish orange 54 and Brilliant orange yellow 67. Scutal areas Brilliant yellow 83. Trochanters I-III same as the carapace; IV Blackish red 21 and Brownish black 65. Pedipalps and chelicerae strong yellow 84 reticulated. Stigmatic area Strong yellowish brown 74. Tip of cheliceral teeth Dark olive 108.</p><p>Female (CIUQ-020632) (Fig. 9). Differing from male by carapace shorter than male, coda wider, femur IV thinner and with less conspicuous spination, free tergite spines larger, and stigmatic area without posterior process.</p><p>Distribution.</p><p>Known only from the type locality.</p><p>Etymology.</p><p>Phallaina is a Greek word that means whale. It is used in apposition as a reference to the humpbacked shape of the species in lateral view.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/A53E326C59B45679BB2ABCC283D29198	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
