Urupelma humantay, a new species of Andean tarantula from the Cuzco region in Peru (Araneae: Theraphosidae: Theraphosinae)
Abstract
A new Peruvian tarantula, Urupelma humantay sp. nov., from the Cuzco region is herein described, diagnosed and
illustrated. The species is similar to Urupelma veronicae Kaderka et al., 2023, and U. dianae Kaderka et al., 2023, another two
Andean tarantulas from the Cuzco region; it differs trom these two species in the absence of retrolateral keel in the morphology
of palpal bulb, and in the different shape of seminal receptacles without sclerotized basal extensions.
