03C7878EFFCFFF8A6FA72A55F5B4870D.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. Males of Syspira cimitarra are easily distinguished from other Dominican species by the shape of the retrolateral tibial apophysis elongated and curved at tip, and by the filiform apical projection of the embolar base (Figs 1 A − B, 2 B − F). Females resemble those of Syspira jimmyi sp. nov. by the enlarged atrium, but can be distinguished by the larger epigynal plate with moderately projected anterior margins of posterior plates, and longer copulatory ducts (Figs 1 C − D, 2 I).	en	Brescovit, Antonio D., Sánchez-Ruiz, Alexander, Bonaldo, Alexandre B.
