Diagnosis
Males and females of Idiops duocordibus sp. nov. differ from the other Neotropical species by the light brown coxae and trochanters, contrasting with the brown body (Fig. 17A–L). The male resembles that of I. rohdei by the short metatarsus I with prolateral curvature and with a slight prolateral projection on the apical half (Fig. 17I), but differs by the tibial apophysis with a triangular apical branch twice the size of the basal branch (Fig. 17G–H) and by the weakly curved embolus (Fig. 17D). The female (Fig. 17J–L) differs from those of the other species by having the spermathecae with bilobed receptacles in the shape of a heart (Fig. 17L).
Etymology
The specific epithet refers to the heart-shaped receptacles of the female genitalia.
