9B5A87C8FFCA695DFF34FCC41A5DA9DE.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. Male of O. diamantinensis sp. n. can be distinguished from O. bolivianum and O. dominguense by the absence of a small subapical keel on the male palpal bulb embolus (Figs 1 - 3); from O. caatinga by the embolus being shorter than 2.5 times the tegulum length (Figs 1 - 3); from O. tucuruiense, O. rufoniger and O. auratum by the tibial spur being inserted in a perpendicular angle in relation to the tibia axis (Figs. 4 - 5). Female can be distinguished from O. bolivianum by the spermathecae being much more longer than wide; from O. dominguense, O. rufoniger and O. tucuruiense by the absence of lateral lobes in the spermathecae; and from O. caatinga by the spermathecae having a large terminal lobe with five smaller lobes around it (Fig. 6), instead of several small lobes. Additionally, males and females can be distinguished by the general blue metallic color pattern and the reddish setae on the abdomen (Figs 7 - 8), instead of the general browish to reddish pattern shown by the other species. The metallic blue color is not lost in specimens preserved in alcohol, indicating its origen to be structural instead of due to the presence of biological pigments.	en	Bertani, Rogerio, Santos, Thiago, Righi, Alexandre (2009): A new species of Oligoxystre Vellard 1924 (Araneae, Theraphosidae) from Brazil.

9B5A87C8FFCA695DFF34FCC41A5DA9DE.taxon	discussion	Relationship. The cladogram proposed by Guadanucci (2003) and partially reproduced in Fig. 9 shows Oligoxystre as a monophyletic genus sister to the clade Pterinochilus sp. (Avicularia avicularia (Linnaeus, 1758) (Euathlus vulpinus (Karsch, 1880) + Vitalius vellutinus (Mello-Leitão, 1923 )) united by three non-exclusive synapomorphies (node A): few cuspules on the maxillae (character 1) (homoplasy shared with Catumiri spp.), few cuspules on the labium (character 2) (homoplasy shared with Ischnocolus algericus Thorell, 1875 + Catumiri spp. and Euathlus vulpinus), and the labium wider than long (character 3) (homoplasy shared with Ischnocolus algericus + Catumiri spp.). Oligoxystre is divided into two fully dichotomous clades. One of the clades (node B) has the monophyletic group O. tucuruiense + O. rufoniger defined by a homoplasious apomorphy, the presence of lateral lobes in the spermatheca (character 4) (shared with Euathlus vulpinus). The other clade has the monophyletic group O. bolivianum + O. dominguense (node D) sharing the presence of keels in the male palpal bulb embolus (character 6) as a synapomorphy. The sister-group of this clade (node C) is O. caatinga which shares with O. bolivianum + O. dominguense and other external taxa (Sickius longibulbi Soares & Camargo, 1948 (Ischnocolus algericus + Catumiri spp. )) the presence of a short clypeus (character 5). Oligoxystre diamantinensis sp. n. exhibits the three generic synapomorphies (characters 1 - 3), but the female lacks the lateral lobe in the spermatheca (character 4) and the male does not have keels in the embolus (character 6). Furthermore, both male and female lack a clypeus (plesiomorphic state for character 5). Thus, the new species lack all the apomorphies for the two clades and possibly would be in a basal trichotomy in that cladogram (indicated by an arrow in Fig. 9). Concerning O. auratum, Vellard (1924) presented a detailed description of the species which allows to distinguish it from O. diamantinensis sp. n. Oligoxystre auratum has an overall browinsh pattern whereas the new species has a blue mettalic color (Figs 7 - 8). The O. auratum tibial spur illustration (Vellard 1924: 152, pl. 10 Fig. 38 d) shows the branches in a parallel position with the tibia axis whereas in O. diamantinensis sp. n. the tibial spur branch axis is perpendicular in relation to the tibia axis (Fig. 5).	en	Bertani, Rogerio, Santos, Thiago, Righi, Alexandre (2009): A new species of Oligoxystre Vellard 1924 (Araneae, Theraphosidae) from Brazil.

9B5A87C8FFCA695DFF34FCC41A5DA9DE.taxon	biology_ecology	Habitat description. The specimens were found in “ campo rupestre ” areas (Figs 10 - 11), characterized by its height above sea level – above 900 m, in association with a high degree of outcropping and consequent reduction of soil depth (Giulietti and Pirani 1988). The vegetation in the area of occurrence of O. diamantinensis sp. n. have predominantly specimens of the families Asteracea, Melastomatacea, Gramineae, Cyperacea, Cactacea, Eicaceae, Leguminosacea, Velloziaceae, Eriocaulacea and Xyridacea (Silva et al. 2005). The climate is tropical – temperature ranging from 18 to 20 ° C, minimum 4 ° C in June / July reaching 35 ° C by December / January (Silva et al. 2005). The rainy season extends from November to March (precipitation mean 223.19 mm). In the dry season from June to August the pluviosity mean falls to about 8.25 mm (Silva et al. 2005). The relative humidity varies between 72.33 % and 89.75 % (for 2001 and 1995, respectively) (Silva, et al. 2005). The three collected specimens were found in altitudes about 1.250 m a. s. l, always in rocky places, either inside crevices or under large stones where they normally build silky tunnels.	en	Bertani, Rogerio, Santos, Thiago, Righi, Alexandre (2009): A new species of Oligoxystre Vellard 1924 (Araneae, Theraphosidae) from Brazil.
