Eutichurus madre Bonaldo, 1994: 129, fig. 79. Female holotype from Peru, Madre de Dios, Zona Reservada Tambopata, Laguna Chica, 290 m, 12°50’S 69°17’W, 01.VI.1988, D. Silva leg (MUSM, not re-examined).
Diagnosis. Males of E. madre resemble those of E. paredesi n. sp. and E. marquesae by the MA with a long, retrolaterally directed median prong (Figs 1, 27) but can be distinguished from the former by the presence of an embolar prolateral process and from the later by that process being inserted sub-apically (Figs 23, 24). Females share with those of E. marquesae the relatively small epigynal anterior projections, presenting a semi-circular sclerotized area at its inner margin, and posterior plates projected anteriorly over the median field (Fig. 52; Bonaldo 1994: fig. 80). They differ by the larger semi-circular sclerotized area on the anterior projections, which are projected over the posterior plates (Bonaldo 1994: fig. 79).
