Nospsma miraflores sp. nov. urn:lsid:zoobank.org:act: DE0D3513-E4BA-48EC-9463-064FB19B0CB4 Figs 1–3, 9A–B, 10 Diagnosis Nospsma miraflores sp. nov. is similar to N. macagual and N. paya by having an oval tegulum with an embolus protruding anteriorly (but can be distinguished by the more elongated cymbium more than 4 × as long as wide and the tegulum very small 5 × shorter than the cymbium (Sánchez-Ruiz et al. 2021: 386, fig. 3c–d; 387, fig. 4e–f; Fig. 2A–C). Females differ from those of N. juchuy and N. paya by having a triangular receptaculum without median concavity, instead straight in N. juchuy and concave in distal margin on N. paya (Sánchez-Ruiz et al. 2021: fig 7a–b; Fig. 2D–E). Etymology The specific epithet is a noun in apposition taken from the type locality. Type material Holotype PERU • ♂; Loreto Department, Miraflores; 69 m a.s.l.; 9–13 Jun. 2010; MUSM-ENT 0507358. Paratypes PERU • 1 ♀; same data as for holotype; MUSM-ENT 0515829. Description Male (holotype (MUSM-ENT 0507358)) COLORATION (Fig. 1A–B, E, G). Carapace orange with conspicuous dorsal pattern. Chelicerae, endites and labium light orange, sternum orange-brownish. Legs light yellow. Abdomen pale gray, without dorsal noticeable pattern (Fig. 1A). MEASUREMENTS. Total length 4.24, carapace length 1.99, width 1.70, height 0.63. Clypeus height 0.41. Eye diameters and interdistances: PME 0.20, PME–PME 0.46. Chelicerae length 0.63. Sternum length 1.23, width 1.13. Legs: I: 7.02; II: 6.58; III: 6.09; IV: 8.49. Abdomen length 2.43. PALP. Cymbium very long, more than 2× as long as palpal tibia; tegulum oval, longer than wide, embolus as long as palpal tibia, almost straight, widened in final third and membranous keel only at opening tip (Figs 2A–C, 3A–B, 8A–B). Female (paratype (MUSM-ENT 0515829)) COLORATION AND ABDOMINAL PATTERN. As male, but with vivid color tones (Fig. 1C–D, F, H). MEASUREMENTS. Total length 4.82, carapace length 1.93, width 2.03, height 0.56. Clypeus height 0.35. Eye diameters and interdistances: PME 0.16, PME–PME 0.41. Chelicerae length 0.59. Sternum length 1.25, width 1.14. Legs: I: 6.32; II: 6.20; III: 5.72; IV: 8.00. Abdomen length 2.44. GENITALIA. External genital area strongly sclerotized around spiracles (Fig. 2D). Internal genitalia with receptaculum with triangular shape (Fig. 2E). Distribution Known only for the type locality in Loreto, Peru (Fig. 10).
