Figs 7, 18, 227 –255, Map 4
Type material: Holotype: male from Quebrada el Ayo, La Pedrera, Amazonas, Colombia (01°35’N, 68°31’W), May 2002, J. Pinzon leg. (ICN, PBI _OON 44340). Paratype: one female, same data as holotype (ICN, PBI _OON 44341).
Etymology. The specific name is a toponym in apposition referring to Puré River, which runs through the type locality.
Diagnosis. Males resemble those of N. petrogoblin (See Abrahim et al. 2012, fig. 171) and N. gregoblin (See Abrahim et al. 2012, fig. 105) by the presence of four spikes on carapace posterior surface (Fig. 227), but differ from those of N. petrogoblin (See Abrahim et al. 2012, fig. 170) by the presence of pits on sternal surface (Fig. 231) and from those of N. gregoblin (See Abrahim et al. 2012, fig. 105) by the lateral margin of carapace with small denticles (Fig. 227). Females resemble those of N. termitophilus (See Abrahim et al. 2012, fig. 159), N. petrogoblin (See Abrahim et al. 2012, fig. 193) and N. gregoblin (See Abrahim et al. 2012, fig. 129) by the presence of four spikes on carapace posterior surface (Fig. 252), but differ from those of N. termitophilus and N. petrogoblin by the presence of pits on sternal surface (Fig. 250) and from those of N. gregoblin (See Abrahim et al. 2012, fig. 129) by the lateral margin of carapace with small denticles (Fig. 248).

Cephalothorax: carapace orange-brown, broadly oval, pars cephalica slightly elevated, posterolateral surface with two pairs of spikes, surface and sides smooth (Fig. 229); lateral margin with small denticles. Clypeus margin slightly reborded, straight in front view, high (Fig. 232). Sternum longer than wide, orange-brown, radial furrows deep and with rows of small pits, surface smooth covered with small round pits (Figs 231, 241). Chelicerae, endites and labium orange-brown. Abdomen: book lung covers large and ovoid. Dorsal scutum orange-brown, middle surface and sides smooth, anterior half with projecting denticles (Figs 230, 237). Epigastric and postepigastric scutum orange-brown. Legs: pale orange. Leg spination: tibia I v4-4 -0; metatarsus I v4-4 -0. Genitalia: epigastric region with sperm pore small and oval; palp proximal articles, bulb and cymbium yellow; embolus rounded (Fig. 7), without prolateral prong or lamella (Fig. 244), apical process poorly developed (Figs 233–236, 244).
Female (PBI_OON 44342): total length 1.80. Cephalothorax: carapace dark red-brown (Fig. 248). Abdomen: dorsal scutum dark red-brown, anterior half without projecting denticles (Fig. 255); groove connecting posterior spiracles presenting of a pair of sub-terminal pockets (Fig. 254).
