Diagnosis
Males and females of Umbyquyra belterra gen. et sp. nov. differ from those of all other species by a recurved fovea (Fig. 5F) and a very long prolateral inferior keel of the male palpal bulb which extends for more than half of the prolateral face of the tegulum (Fig. 22C). This species presents five keels, including the PAc keel near the PS keel. This is a character shared only between two species of Umbyquyra gen. nov. Females differ from those of the other species by a spermathecae with SR curved sideways, with long ducts and apart from each other by more than five times their diameter (Fig. 21D).
Etymology
The species epithet is a noun in apposition taken from the type locality.

Remarks
The female is in bad condition, so total length and carapace could not be measured.
Distribution
Brazil: state of Pará (Fig. 29).
