Etymology. The specific name is a noun in apposition after the type locality.
Diagnosis. Males of Tupirinna caraca sp. nov. resemble those of T. una sp. nov. by the TEP parallel in relation to the embolus, and the long RTA’s dorsal lobe with a blunt tip, but differ by the presence of a tegular apical prolateral process and by the TEP smaller than the embolus (Fig. 15E, F). Females share with those of T. oba sp. nov. the recurved posterior transverse ridges on the epigynal plate, but can be readily recognized by the small, rounded copulatory opening (Fig. 15G, H).
