03AC87DBEC50CA1E7D58574FFAF84E57.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis Can be differentiated in having shorter legs (femur IV shorter than the total length of the dorsal scutum) contrasting with other short-legged cosmetids as Rhaucus Simon, 1879, Neocynorta or Eulibitia (its femur IV is longer than dorsal scutum length) (Fig. 1 B, E – F). Outline of dorsal scutum alpha-type with faint marked constrictions forming a parallel coda in males and divergent coda in females contrasting with Ambatoiella that has well-marked constrictions (Figs 2, 6). Can be separated from other genera by having cheliceral sockets (invaginations in the anterior margin of the carapace where the basichelicerites fit) shallow, with well-marked lateral quadrangular projections (triangular in Eulibitia, rounded in Rhaucus, bifid in Metalibitia) (Figs 2, 6). Posterior margin of DS without yellow stripe (transversal stripe in Eulibitia and some Rhaucus species) (Fig. 1 A – D). Basitarsomeres I, III and IV remarkably enlarged in males (Figs 1 B, 5 B, D, 9 C – D). Penis with an elongate wattle in stylus forming distally two long serrate membranes and with a medial cleft (Fig. 5), without stylar barbs.	en	Medrano, Miguel, Ázara, Ludson Neves de, Kury, Adriano Brilhante (2020): The short-legged Andean cosmetids revisited: the genus Libitia Simon, 1879 with description of two new species (Opiliones, Cosmetidae).

03AC87DBEC50CA1E7D58574FFAF84E57.taxon	description	Description Small and flat animals (<4 mm) with short legs (Fig. 1 B). Outline of dorsal scutum alpha-type with symmetrical mid-bulge (Fig. 2). Mesotergum flat and unarmed. Scutum with yellowish white blots as a ‘ ladder mask’ over dark brown background (see Medrano & Kury 2016, 2017), with intraspecific variation from absent (Fig. 2) to strongly filled invading the entire area I and II (Fig. 6) or part of carapace (Fig. 9 A). Coxa IV entirely visible in dorsal view, without groin warts (defined in Kury & Barros, 2014) and small prodorsal distal apophysis. Femur III and IV curved and uniformly tuberculate (Fig. 1 B). Penis (Fig. 4): ventral plate (VP) sub-rectangular with latero-apical borders protruding from the ventral plate, stylus with an incrassated wattle forming apically two long serrate membranes creating a medial cleft (Fig. 4 D), without stylar barbs.

03AC87DBEC5CCA0B7DAE542BFB2D4D2D.taxon	etymology	Etymology Noun in apposition from Iguaque, which in the Chibcha language means ‘ vigorous mountain’ and was the cultural epicenter in the Amerindian period; as sacred territory it represented, for the Muiscas, the universe in continuous regeneration: birth, fecundity, fertility and initiation, symbol of ascent and interior knowledge. Also, it is the name of the Sanctuary that is the type locality of the species.	en	Medrano, Miguel, Ázara, Ludson Neves de, Kury, Adriano Brilhante (2020): The short-legged Andean cosmetids revisited: the genus Libitia Simon, 1879 with description of two new species (Opiliones, Cosmetidae).

03AC87DBEC42CA087D3550D7FE0E4AC2.taxon	discussion	Remarks We tentatively propose the new combination based on the external morphology (although examination of penis morphology is imperative to be certain) of the male type (MNHN) by the following features: (1) outline of dorsal scutum gamma-type; (2) eyes poorly spaced and ocularium without depression (“ Mamelon oculaire assez grand, ovale transverse, bas, légèrement granuleux. ” Simon 1879); (3) areas I – III with paramedian tubercles and (4) dorsal scutum and coxa IV without yellow spots. The impossibility to examine the holotype thoroughly and the “ doubtful origin ” of the specimen described by Simon does not allow us to verify whether this species corresponds to another already described species. It is very difficult to conclude whether the records provided by Roewer (1928) and Mello-Leitão (1932) are correct because both localities match with those of various species of Metalibitia (Coronato & Pintoda-Rocha 2017).	en	Medrano, Miguel, Ázara, Ludson Neves de, Kury, Adriano Brilhante (2020): The short-legged Andean cosmetids revisited: the genus Libitia Simon, 1879 with description of two new species (Opiliones, Cosmetidae).

03AC87DBEC41CA097EAA57D1FB164CFB.taxon	discussion	Remarks The synonymy of Gonyleptes multimaculatus with Cosmetus cordatus, established by Butler (1873), is not supported here because the former possess the following features (Fig. 13): (1) large body (> 6 mm); (2) main solid white spot mostly occupying the cephalothorax; (3) scattered white dots on abdomen, free tergites and coxa IV; (4) long and smooth legs (femur IV longer than the total length of the dorsal scutum); (5) dorsal scutum beta-type and (6) tarsal counts more numerous (6 / 14 / 8 / 9). All those features also show that Gonyleptes multimaculatus does not belong to the genus Libitia, better fitting the diagnosis of the recently revalidated genus Paecilaemella (see Kury & Medrano 2018). The specimens of Gonyleptes multimaculatus examined by Wood (1869) were damaged and did not allow an unambiguous diagnosis as a cosmetid, since the pedipalps are missing. Butler (1873), besides his precipitated specific synonymy, already showed the relation of the species with cosmetids. After a century, H. Soares (1970) described Cynorta itacoaensis from the Itacoaí River in upper Amazonas with a description and an illustration that entirely match those of Wood’s species. Therefore, we propose that Cynorta itacoaiensis H. Soares, 1970 is a junior synonym of Paecilaemella multimaculata (Wood, 1869) comb. nov.	en	Medrano, Miguel, Ázara, Ludson Neves de, Kury, Adriano Brilhante (2020): The short-legged Andean cosmetids revisited: the genus Libitia Simon, 1879 with description of two new species (Opiliones, Cosmetidae).
