Etymology. “ Moqueca ” is a typical meal of the Bahia culinary tradition. It made with fish or seafood braised with different spices, coconut milk and “dendê”palm oil.

Diagnosis. Males of Celaetycheus moqueca sp. nov. ( Figs 11A–B View FIGURE 11. A – D ) can be distinguished from the remaining species of the genus by the large median apophysis and elongated additional tegular projection on the palp. Females of C. moqueca sp. nov. ( Figs 11C–D View FIGURE 11. A – D ) resemble those of C. flavostriatus ( Fig. 1A View FIGURE 1. A – D ) by the subtriangular shape of the median sector of epigynum, but can be distinguished by the absence of lateral lobes from the lateral fields of the epigynum.
