Etymology. The specific name is a noun in apposition from the type locality name.
Diagnosis. Males of Actinopus lomalinda differ from all other species of the genus by the apical tegular process of 3/4 the size of the embolus and tegulum without prolaterals apophysis in dorsal view. A. robustus (Fig. 181 A–C), A. palmar (Fig. 189 A–C), A. cucutaensis (Fig. 176 A–C) and A. guajara (Fig. 192 A–C) shared with A. lomalinda those ATP, but only in A. cucutaensis, A. lomalinda and A. guajara those ATP appears separated and parallel to the embolus in prolateral view. They differ from those of A. cucutaensis by the ATP angle of insertion on tegulum and in the presence of a small-serrated area, which occupies only 20% of the embolus, in dorsal view (Fig. 186 A–C). Females differ from all other species, except A. obidos (Fig. 26 D) by a spermathecae with a unique receptacle. Differs from A. obidos by absence of swelling on external lateral of receptacle (Fig. 186 D).
