Diagnosis. Goeldia luteipes differs from other species of the genus by the narrow, long, and triangular tegular process (Fig. 14A) and by the strongly bent tibia in the male palp (Fig. 14B–C), and by the black or dark brown color of the proximal half portion of the femora. Females of G. luteipes have a wide epigynum that covers the copulatory opening area ventrally (Fig. 14E); and copulatory ducts converging anteriorly (Fig. 14F).
