03CD0029E14EFFD0AE138CCFFC08FB10.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. Scytodes piyampisi n. sp. differs from the remaining Scytodes by the spatulate distal area and ventral subapical bifid projection of the male palpal bulb (Figs. 2 – 3). The females differ by the Z­shaped positioning ridges (Fig. 4) and by the internal lateral sclerotinized invaginations in the hyaline area of the female epigynal pouch (Fig. 5).	en	Rheims, Cristina A., Barreiros, José Augusto P., Brescovit, Antonio D., Bonaldo, Alexandre B.

This fact might indicate that this particular litter species prefers dryland forest habitats.	en	Rheims, Cristina A., Barreiros, José Augusto P., Brescovit, Antonio D., Bonaldo, Alexandre B.

03CD0029E14CFFD6AE138C47FD37FAC0.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. The males of S. cotopitoka n. sp. resemble those of S. balbina by the long, ventral sclerotized process (Rheims & Brescovit 2000: 723, fig. 2 B – C), but differ by the distal retrolateral hyaline membrane of the palpal bulb (Fig. 7) and by the cymbium with two strong distal spines (Fig. 6). The females differ from the remaining Scytodes by the sinuous lateral borders of the hyaline area of the female epigynal pouch (Fig. 10).	en	Rheims, Cristina A., Barreiros, José Augusto P., Brescovit, Antonio D., Bonaldo, Alexandre B.

All specimens of Scytodes cotopitoka n. sp. were collected during the dry season in “ Terra Firme ” forests. The majority of the individuals (n = 5) were collected with Winkler extractors in LBA experimental sites, two in treatment plots and three in control plots. Two additional individuals were collected manually, one in the leaf litter layer, during a looking down procedure, and another on small bushes, during a looking up procedure. This might indicate that this species is capable of occupying not only the leaf litter, but also the lower vegetation.	en	Rheims, Cristina A., Barreiros, José Augusto P., Brescovit, Antonio D., Bonaldo, Alexandre B.
