Diagnosis. Males and females of Catanduba tuskae sp. nov. differ from those of all other species of the genus by the uniformly brown color of the abdomen, without ornamentation (Fig. 11 A), the male palpal bulb with a long curved median tooth on the embolus (Figs 2 A–C) and female spermathecal receptacles bent to the outer side, with large nodules (Figs 2 E, F).
Etymology. In honor of Ana Carolina Tuska de Almeida Yamamoto, biologist, wife of the first author.
