Figures 110–112, 116A–B; map 8
TYPES: Male holotype and male paratype (with one immature) from Peru: Madre de Dios Department: Manu Province: Zona Reservada Pakitza, 356 m, - 11.93333 °, - 71.28333 °, June 01, 1992, T. Erwin, D. Silva (MUSM-ENT 0501560 PBI_OON 43055). Deposited in MUSM.
ETYMOLOGY: This specific epithet is a noun in apposition taken from the type locality.
DIAGNOSIS: N. pakitza males are distinguished by the embolus with a small curled tip, and a broad, membranous conductor, nearly parallel to embolus in lateral view (figs. 111B–D, 116B); females by the mushroomlike anterior receptacle in combination to a nearly triangular posterodorsal plate (fig. 112H, 116A).
DESCRIPTION: MALE (holotype, PBI_OON 43055). Total length 1.77. Cephalothorax: Carapace yellow, broadly oval in dorsal view, pars cephalica slightly elevated in lateral view, anteriorly narrowed to between 0.5 and 0.75 times its maximum width; lateral margin undulate; nonmarginal pars cephalica setae absent; nonmarginal pars thoracica setae absent; marginal setae dark, needlelike. Clypeus setae absent. Eyes all subequal, ALE oval, PME circular, PLE circular; posterior eye row procurved from front; ALE separated by more than their diameter, ALE-PLE separated by less than ALE radius, PME touching for less than half their length, PLE-PME separated by less than PME radius. Sternum as long as wide, yellow, posterior margin not extending posteriorly of coxae IV; setae sparse, evenly scattered. Mouthparts: chelicerae, endites, and labium yellow; cheliceral setae dark, evenly scattered. Labium anterior margin indented at middle; with six or more setae on anterior margin. Endites distally not excavated, anterior margin with laterally directed laminar expansions (fig. 110E). Abdomen: Dorsum pale white. Book lung covers round. Postepigastric scutum yellow. Spinneret scutum absent. Dorsum setae dark, needlelike. Colulus absent. Legs: Yellow; femur IV slightly enlarged. Leg spination: leg I: femora pv0- 0-0-1-1, tibiae v2-2-2-2-2-0, metatarsi v2-2-2; leg II: tibiae v2-2-2-2-2-0, metatarsi v2-2-2; leg III: femora d1-1-1, tibiae p1-1, v1-ap, metatarsi r1, v1ap; leg IV: femora d0-1-1-1, tibiae d1, p1-1, v1-2ap; metatarsi p1-1, v1- 2ap. Trichobothria not examined. Genitalia (figs. 111B–D, 116B): Palp proximal segments pale orange; femur normal size, two or more times as long as trochanter; cymbium pale orange, ovoid in dorsal view, not fused with bulb; bulb yellow, more than two times as long as cymbium; conductor broad, elongated, membranous, nearly parallel to the embolus (in lateral view); embolus dark, with a small curled tip (fig. 116B).
FEMALE (PBI_OON 14822). Total length 1.75. As in male except as noted. Cephalothorax: Eyes ALE-PLE separated by ALE radius to ALE diameter, PME separated by less than their radius. Sternum precoxal triangles present; setae dark. Labium elongated hexagon. Palp spines absent. Abdomen: Postepigastric area setae dark, needlelike. Colulus represented only by setae. Legs: Femur IV not thickened, same size as femora I–III, patella plus tibia I nearly as long as carapace. Leg spination: leg I: femora pv0-0- 1-1-0, tibiae v2-2-2-2-2-0, metatarsi v2-2-2-2; leg II: femora pv0-0-1-1-0, tibiae v2-2-2-2-2- 0, metatarsi v2-2-2-2; leg III: metatarsi d1-0, p1-1, r0-1, v2ap; leg IV: metatarsi p1-1, r1-1, v2ap. Genitalia: Ventral view: anterior receptacle with long stalk and transversely mushroom-shaped terminal part, easily visible through the cuticle (fig. 112H). Posterior plate distally widened, shorter than anterior receptacle, laterally surpassing ends of transverse bar, resembles inverted triangle (fig. 116A).
