Ypypuera crucifera (Vellard, 1924) View in CoL ( Figs 3B–D, 4A–D)

Ypypuera crucifera View in CoL : Rheims & Brescovit, 2004: 221, figs 7–10, 13–14, 19–20, 81–87 (♂ ♀). For a list of six taxonomic references, see WSC (2024).

Material. ECUADOR: Orellana Province: 2♂♂ ( USNM), Tiputini Biodiversity Station, nr Yasuní National Park , transect – T/1 Sta.1, 00°37'55"S 76°08'39"W, 07.II.1999, 220– 250 m ( T. L. Erwin et al.) GoogleMaps .

Comments. The male palp illustrated here differs from those illustrated by Rheims & Brescovit (2004) in several aspects: the more elongate basal portion of the tegular apophysis (Ta), the more elongate tegulum (length/width approximately 1.21 vs. 1.18), and the relatively thinner and longer embolus (Em) (cf. Fig. 4 A and Rheims & Brescovit, 2004: fig. 84). These differences are considered intraspecific variations (C.A. Rheims, pers. comm.).

Distribution. Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Paraguay, Peru, and Ecuador (new record).
