Etymology. The specific name is derived from the Tupi language and means small, as is the case with spiders of this genus. Noun in apposition.
Diagnosis. Males of Speocera piquira sp. nov. differs by the male having very long and curved distally SCI in the embolus (Figs 12E – F; 14A – B)—while in S. pinima sp. nov. it is pentagonal and the small conductor, fig. 1E, and presenting long SCI and conductor with large base in in S. babau sp. nov., fig. 7E. The female of Speocera piquira sp. nov. differ from S. pinima sp. nov. and S. babau sp. nov. by its shorter and almost straight afferent spermathecae and S-shaped lateral plates (Figs. 15D – F) in the genitalia.
