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 View Fig ). 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 View Fig ).
