diagnosis
Diagnosis. Males of Patrera chucurui n. sp. can be differentiated from those of the remaining species of the genus by their strongly develop, wide, curved ventral tegular process, by a second spine-shaped projection closely related to the embolus, and by the very long retrolateral tibial apohysis (Fig. 24 F ̅ G). Females are distinguished from the remaining species by the ellipse-shaped atrium, lateral borders united posteriorly, convulated, long copulatory ducts and by the absence of a hood (Fig. 24 H ̅ I).
distribution
Distribution. Only known from Santander department (Fig. 33).
etymology
