Types. Female holotype from Parque Municipal da Lagoinha do Leste, 40 m asl, 27°47'16.30"S, 48°30'25.30"W, Pântano do Sul Beach, Santa Catarina Island, Florianópolis, Santa Catarina, Brazil, 27–31.viii.2014, R.P. Indicatti, J.L. Chavari & Y. Lemos coll. (IBSP 166232). Paratypes: same data as holotype, 1 female (IBSP 166233); 4– 12.i.2015, R.P. Indicatti & B. Gambaré coll., 2 females (IBSP 166473; 166474).
Additional material examined. BRAZIL, Santa Catarina: Florianópolis, Santa Catarina Island (Parque Municipal da Lagoinha do Leste, 40 m asl, 27°47'16.30"S, 48°30'25.30"W), 27–31.viii.2014, R.P. Indicatti, J.L. Chavari & Y. Lemos coll., 1 female (IBSP 166234); 11 females, 2 juveniles, 4–12.i.2015, R.P. Indicatti & B. Gambaré coll. (IBSP 166475–166480); (Parque Municipal da Lagoinha do Leste, 107 m asl, 27°46'40.91"S, 48°29'31.41"W), 4–12.i.2015, R.P. Indicatti & B. Gambaré coll., 3 females, 1 juvenile (IBSP 166481).
Diagnosis. Females of S. pescador sp. nov. resemble those of S. tenuistyla and S. sevegnaniae sp. nov. by the spermathecae with a reduced basal dome, but can be distinguished by having two long receptacula ducts (Figs 54, 55).
Etymology. The specific name honors the native inhabitants of the Pântano do Sul Beach in the southern Santa Catarina Island, Florianópolis, Santa Catarina, Brazil. Pescador is taken from the Portuguese language and means fisherman. The Pântano do Sul Beach is characterized by one of the oldest fishering villages in the Santa Catarina Island (Melo et al., 2008).
