description: <i>Canama extranea</i> sp. nov. Figs 48–61 <b>Type material.</b> Holotype: male, PAPUA NEW GUINEA: Southern Highlands Province: Tualapa, near Wanakipa, 5.283° S, 142.498° E, elev. 1100 m a.s.l., 13–22 July 2008, forest edge, coll. W. Maddison &amp; Luc Fimo Tuki, WPM#08-010 (UBC-SEM AR00084). Paratypes: 1 female, same data as holotype (UBC-SEM AR00085); 1 female, same data as holotype; 1 male, PAPUA NEW GUINEA: Southern Highlands Province: Putuwé, junction of Lagaip &amp; Uruwabwa Rivers, 5.231° S, 142.532° E, elev. 570 m a.s.l., 23–26 July 2008, coll. W. Maddison &amp; Luc Fimo Tuki, WPM#08-019; 1 female, same data as previous. <b>Etymology.</b> Latin <i>extranea</i> (strange), referring to the peculiar male palpal structure. <b>Diagnosis.</b> Male chelicerae (Figs 57–58) are not as elongate as those of <i>C. forceps</i> (Doleschall) (see Prószyṅski 1984, 1987) and <i>C</i>. <i>hinnulea</i> (Thorell) (see Davies &amp; &amp;Zdot;abka 1989). Also differs from other species by the presence of dark markings in the eye area of male and female (Figs 48–53), the big and bowl-like embolic disc and the presence of proximal tegular lobe of the male palp (Figs 54–56), and the narrow and convoluted copulatory duct of the vulva (Fig. 61). <b>Description.</b> <i>Male</i> (holotype, UBC-SEM AR00084). Carapace length 2.1 (variation 2.1–2.7, n=2); abdomen length 2.2. Chelicera (Figs 57–58): yellow brown; not very elongate; with two promarginal teeth and one long bicuspid tooth on retromargin (the paratype male with one big dagger-like retromarginal tooth). Palp (Figs 54–56): yellow brown. Cymbial distal groove more retrolateral. Proximal tegular lobe present. Embolic disc large and bowl-like. Retrolateral tibial apophysis finger-like with distal end hooked from ventral view. Femur of palp slightly curved. Measurements of legs: I 4.2, II 3.7, III 4.6, IV 4.1. Color in alcohol (Fig. 52): carapace light orange, with dark markings in eye area; abdomen anterior end light yellow, other part dark; legs light red brown to light yellow. <i>Female</i> (paratype, UBC-SEM AR00085). Carapace length 2.3 (variation 2.2–2.3, n=3); abdomen length 2.9. Chelicera (Fig. 59): yellowish. Measurements of legs: I 3.4, II 3.5, III 4.1, IV 3.7. Epigynum (Figs 60–61): median septum relatively narrow; opening to the copulatory duct at posterior margin of window. Copulatory duct long and convoluted; spermatheca small and oval. Color in alcohol (Fig. 53): carapace light yellow, also with dark markings within eye area; abdomen yellowish, without distinct dark markings, legs light yellow. Body green when alive (Figs 50–51) <b>Natural history.</b> Specimens were found beating vegetation in forest edge and disturbed forest.
