PARAWIXIA CARIMAGUA ( LEVI, 1991) View in CoL COMB. NOV.

( FIG. 134)

Wagneriana carimagua Levi, 1991: 393 View in CoL , fig. 102 (male holotype from Carimagua, Meta, Colombia, [4°34′N, 71°20′W], elevation 100 m, x.1973, W. Eberhard leg., deposited in MCZ 20706, examined); World Spider Catalog, 2019.

Parawixia porvenir Levi, 1992: 20 View in CoL , figs 54–55, synon. nov. (male holotype from Finca Chenevo   GoogleMaps , ~ 20 km N. of Río Muco, 20 km S. of El Porvenir View in CoL , Meta, Colombia, [4°21′N, 71°34′W], elevation 170 m, W. Eberhard leg., deposited in MCZ 22725 About MCZ , examined through photographs of the habitus and genitalia); World Spider Catalog, 2019.

Justification for the transfer: Our phylogenetic analysis places W. carimagua in Parawixia ( Figs 15, 17). Parawixia carimagua has pale, rounded patches in the sternum (character 12; Fig. 134B), terminal apophysis articulated with the radix (character 111) and a long membrane between the paramedian apophysis and the conductor bases (character 97; Fig. 134E), as is the case in other Parawixia species.

Justification for synonymy: Examination of the male holotype of P. porvenir shows that this specimen has the diagnostic C-shaped embolus of P. carimagua and, as such, it should be considered as a junior synonym of the latter species.

Diagnosis: Parawixia carimagua can be differentiated from all other species by having a C-shaped embolus ( Fig. 134D, E).

Description: Male: see Levi (1991).

Female: unknown.

Distribution: Known only from two localities in the Meta state, Colombia.
