Stethorrhagus peckorum Bonaldo & Brescovit, 1994: 61 View in CoL , fig. 22a–b, ♂.

Diagnosis

Males of S. peckorum resemble those of S. tridentatus by the DTA absent and by the medially inserted embolus ( Fig. 7E–F View Fig , 8C–F View Fig ; Bonaldo & Brescovit 1994: figs 14a–b, 22a–b). They differ by the tibia with the AS long, with a wide base, inserted on the tibial surface; embolus widened, flat and triangular, with reduced apical prongs ( Fig. 7E–F View Fig ; Bonaldo & Brescovit 1994: fig. 22a–b) ( AS short, inserted apically on vVL; embolus filiform, with long apical prongs in S. tridentatus – Fig. 8C–F View Fig ; Bonaldo & Brescovit 1994: fig. 14a–b).
