Grismadox resembles Myrmecotypus and Apochinomma by having a recurved PER and narrow carapace (Fig. 1 D–F), but it differs from both by the spiniform second pair of anterior abdominal setae (AS II) (vs. thin and unmodified in Myrmecotypus and Apochinomma) (Figs 2A–B, 13E). Grismadox resembles Mazax by having AS II spiniform but differs by the recurved PER (vs. slightly recurved or straight in Mazax), surface of the AS II serrated (vs. smooth in Mazax), and the pedicel collar shorter than the length of the epigastric scutum (vs. longer in Mazax) (Figs 2B–D, 8A; Silva-Junior et al. 2024: figs 4E, 5A, B). Additionally, Grismadox differs from these three genera by the presence of a branched retrolateral tibial apophysis with ventral and dorsal lobes (vRTA and dRTA), and CD fused anteriorly to the secondary spermatheca (ST II) (vs. RTA absent or unbranched and CD fused laterally to ST II in Mazax, Myrmecotypu s and Apochinomma) (Fig. 3C–D).</p><p>Supplementary description. Small to medium-sized spiders, adults between 3.17 mm and 7.14 mm in total length. Carapace orange ( G. baueri, G. mboitui, and G. monai comb. nov.) or black (other species), feathery hairs and long hairs present over entire body, very slight dorsal depression distinguishing cephalic and thoracic region, truncated posteriorly in G. elsneri, G. mazaxoides, G. mboitui, and G. karugua (Figs 11B, E, 12B, 13B, E), slightly convex in other species (Figs 8B, 9B, E, 10B). Cephalic and thoracic regions having roughly same length. Posterior lateral margin of carapace with two slight depressions (absent in G. baueri and G. monai comb. nov.). Fovea always present. PER wider than AER, recurved and eyes equidistant; eyes subequal, AME larger than others, AER straight to slightly recurved (Fig. 1E–F). Cheliceral promargin with two, three or four teeth; retromargin with two teeth, with several long erect setae on anterior surface of paturon; endites rectangular, longer than wide, with densely scopulate mesal margins; labium slightly trapezoid, wider than long. Sternum shield-shaped, precoxal triangles present, intercoxal sclerites present between coxae II and III, III and IV but absent in I and II, not fused to the sternum. Leg formula 4123; legs with short or medium-sized spines, tibia I ventral spination 2-2, 3-2 or 3-3. Abdomen elongate, usually with strong median constriction (slightly constricted in G. elsneri, G. baueri, G. monai comb. nov., and G. nazgul sp. nov.), dorsal scutum covering more than half of abdomen in males and up to half of abdomen in females, pedicel collar short, first anterior abdominal setae (AS I) thin, second anterior abdominal setae (AS II) spiniform (Fig. 2A, B), dorsal and epigastric scutum fused anterolaterally, collar of squamose setae with brachia present in G. mazaxoides, G. mboitui, and G. karugua (Figs 11A, 12A, B, 13A, B). Male palp with retrolateral tibial apophysis divided in two lobes (vRTA and dRTA; Fig. 5) (vRTA absent in G. rubioi), cymbium without spines, tegulum with globular base and narrow distal neck, without projections, sperm duct with only three folds, embolus with several keels, except in G. armatus comb. nov. (Fig. 4). Epigynum plate usually with groove above the copulatory opening (CO), CO situated anterior to ST, CD inserted anterior to ST II, which are larger than ST I (Fig. 3).</p><p>Composition. G. annatar sp. nov., G. armatus comb. nov., G. baueri, G. elsneri, G. karugua, G. mazaxoides, G. mboitui, G. monai comb. nov., G. nazgul sp. nov., and G. rubioi .</p><p>Distribution.

Females of G. armatus comb. nov. resemble those of G. elsneri by tibia I ventral spination 3-2, coxae II–IV paler than I, and the presence of a ventral groove above the CO, but differs by the deep ventral groove above the CO (vs. shallow in G. elsneri), CO anteriorly oriented (vs. anterolaterally in G. elsneri), and CD as long as ST II (vs. CD smaller than ST II in G. elsneri) (cf.

Males of G. nazgul sp. nov. resemble those of G. karugua, G. mazaxoides, G. armatus comb. nov., and G. mboitui by coxae II and III translucent white, and those of G. annatar sp. nov. by the absence of a dorsal depression distinguishing the cephalic and thoracic regions of the carapace and the dark body, but can be differentiated from all these species by tibia I ventral spination 2-2 (vs. 3- 3 in G. karugua and 3- 2 in G. namba sp. nov., G. mazaxoides, and G. mboitui), embolus wider and robust (vs. narrow in G. karugua, G. annatar sp. nov., G. mazaxoides, and G. mboitui) (Figs 4C, 9G–H).

Males of Grismadox annatar sp. nov. can be distinguished from the males of all other known Grismadox species by the long embolus having almost the same length as the tegular neck (vs. short in other species, less than 1/3 of the tegular neck length) and the embolus with seven keels (vs. three, four or five in other species) (Fig. 10D, E).</p><p>Description.
