Etymology. “ Bobó ” is a typical meal of the Bahia culinary tradition. It is prepared with shrimp, spices and puree of cassava, served with rice, dried shrimp, ginger and “dendê” palm oil.
Diagnosis. Males of Celaetycheus bobo sp. nov. (Figs 9A–B) resemble those of C. acaraje sp. nov. (Figs 7A–B) by the male palp with a straight median apophysis with ventral cup-shaped projection, but can be distinguished by the larger embolus and the large additional tegular projection (Fig. 9A). Females of C. bobo sp. nov. (Figs 9C–D) resemble those of C. caruru sp. nov. (Figs 10C–D) by the subtriangular shape of the median sector of epigynum, but can be distinguished by the longer median sector of epigynum (Fig. 9C).
