Type material. Male holotype and female paratype from Usina Hidrelétrica de Xingó (9°37’59”S; 37°47’44”W), Canindé de São Francisco, Sergipe, Brazil, 04.III.2000 – 29.III.2001, L. Ianuzzi leg., deposited in IBSP 91398.
Etymology. The specific name is a noun in apposition taken from the type locality.
Diagnosis. Males of Umuara xingo resemble those of Umuara pydanieli by the shape of the retrolateral tibial apophysis (see Brescovit, 1997, figs. 251–252), but can be recognized by the inconspicuous apophysis of embolic process (Fig. 3 A, B) and by the median apophysis with enlarged base (Fig. 3 B, C). Females are distinguished from all others species in the genus by the extremely narrowed epigynal lateral borders and by the conical median hood (Fig. 3 G).
Description. Male (IBSP 91398). Carapace orange with grayish-green paramedian strips; border of eyes black; chelicerae, labium and endites orange; sternum yellow, with dark borders; legs orange, with ventral face of coxa, trochanter and femur white; abdomen dorsally yellowish, with scattered paramedian grayish-green stripes, ventrally white; spinnerets yellow (Figs. 1 C). Total length 4.4, carapace length 1.89, width 1.6. Clypeus height 0.08. Eye diameters and interdistances: AME 0.08, ALE 0.1, PME 0.1, PLE 0.1, AME–AME 0.02, AME–ALE 0.02, PME–PME 0.1, PME–PLE 0.08, ALE–PLE 0.02. Chelicerae 1.0 long, with three promarginal teeth and five retromarginal denticles. Leg measurements: Leg I—femur 2.4/ patella 0.9/ tibia 2.7/ metatarsus 2.5/ tarsus 0.9/ total 9.4; II—2.0/ 0.9/ 1.9/ 1.8/ 0.7/ 7.3; III—1.5/ 0.5/ 1.2/ 1.4/ 0.4/ 5.0; IV—2.1/ 0.7/ 1.9/ 2.5/ 0.55/ 7.75. Leg spination: I—metatarsus p0; II—tibia v2-1 p-2-2, p1-0-1, metatarsus v2-1 -0; III—tibia v1 p-2-2, p1-1-1, r0-1-1, metatarsus v2-1 p-2, r0-1-1; IV—tibia v1 p-2-2. Palp with retrolateral tibial apophysis slightly curved at tip, base small (Fig. 3 D, E); embolus short, enlarged at base, embolic process covered by tegulum (Figs. 3 A–B, F).
Female (IBSP 91398). Coloration as male (Fig. 1 D). Total length 5.7, carapace length 2.49, width 1.8. Clypeus height 0.08. Eye diameters and interdistances: AME 0.08, ALE 0.1, PME 0.1, PLE 0.1, AME–AME 0.06, AME– ALE 0.04, PME–PME 0.14, PME–PLE 0.14, ALE–PLE 0.06. Chelicerae 1.1 long, with eight promarginal teeth and nine retromarginal denticles. Leg measurements: Leg I—femur 2.1/ patella 0.9/ tibia 2.0/ metatarsus 1.9/ tarsus 0.8/ total 7.7; II—1.8/ 0.8/ 1.65/ 1.5/ 0.6/ 6.35; III—1.5/ 0.6/ 1.0/ 1.3/ 0.4/ 4.8; IV—2.1/ 0.7/ 1.8/ 2.3/ 0.5/ 7.4. Leg spination: I—tibia v2-2 -0, p0, r0, metatarsus p0; II—tibia v2-2 -0, r0, metatarsus p0, r0; IV—tibia r0-1-1. Abdomen: length 3.0, epigastric furrow 0.7 from tracheal spiracle, spiracle 1.4 from base of spinnerets. Epigynum: copulatory ducts extremely long; spermathecae not separated; fertilization ducts long, two times the length of spermathecae (Fig. 3 H).
Variation. Males (n=10) total length 3.1–5.4; carapace 1.5–2.15; femur I 1.6–3.0. Females (n=10) total length 1.8–5.4; carapace 1.5–2.2; femur I 1.4–1.9.
