“…Since the revision, ten contributions were made to the taxonomy of the genus, including the transfer and redescription of Alpaida tullgreni (Caporiacco, 1955) (Levi, 1993), the description of five males and one female of species previously known only from one sex (Buckup & Meyer, 1993;Rodrigues & Mendonça, 2011), and the description of 12 new species (Abrahim & Bonaldo, 2008;Santos & Santos, 2010;Buckup & Rodrigues, 2011;Braga-Pereira & Santos, 2013;Deza & Andia, 2014;Dierkens, 2014;Saturnino et al, 2015). In this paper we described a new species of Alpaida based on both sexes.…”

ABSTRACT. We described a new species of spider, Alpaida clarindoi sp. nov. (Araneidae), from the southwestern Amazon forest. The new species is distinguished from most Alpaida by the presence of a pair of shoulders spines. Females can be separated from similar species by the subquadrangular shape of the epigynum, and males by the shape of the terminal apophysis and the tegulum, which possess an apical pointed tip. Alpaida clarindoi sp. nov. is described based on both sexes.KEYWORDS. Spiders, Arachnida, Taxonomy, Neotropical Region.RESUMO. Nova espécie de Alpaida (Araneae, Araneidae) de Rondônia, Brasil. Nós descrevemos uma nova espécie de aranha, Alpaida clarindoi sp. nov. (Araneidae), da região sudoeste da floresta amazônica. A nova espécie se distingue das demais pela presença de um par de espinhos dorsais na parte anterior do abdome. A fêmea difere de espécies semelhantes pelo formato subquadrangular do epígino, e o macho pelo formato da apófise terminal e do tegulum, que possui um espinho apical na borda. Alpaida clarindoi sp. nov. é descrita com base em exemplares de ambos os sexos.

ABSTRACT. Alpaida venger sp. nov. is described based on males and females from Pedra Branca State Park, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. This species seems to be related to Alpaida scriba (Mello-Leitão, 1940) and Alpaida alticeps (Keyserling, 1879) due to similar body shape and color, but is easily distinguished by the very elongated median apophysis, the massive lobe of tegulum and the hooked paracymbium of male palp. Females have elongated epigyne as A. scriba, but can be distinguished by the wider lips and shorter scape.KEYWORDS. Neotropical Region, spiders, taxonomy, Atlantic Forest.RESUMO. Uma nova espécie de Alpaida do Sudeste do Brasil. Alpaida venger sp. nov. é descrita baseada em machos e fêmeas do Parque Estadual da Pedra Branca, Rio de Janeiro, Brasil. Esta espécie parece relacionada a Alpaida scriba (Mello-Leitão, 1940) e Alpaida alticeps (Keyserling, 1879) devido a similaridades no formato e cor do corpo, mas é facilmente distinguida pela apófise média muito alongada, ao particular lobo do tégulo e ao paracímbio em forma de gancho do palpo do macho. Fêmeas apresentam epígino alongado como A. scriba, mas podem ser diferenciadas pelos lábios mais largos e escapo mais curto.

“…Some species of Alpaida have been described after LEVI's (1988) revision, including a species from the Brazilian Amazon -Alpaida guto Abrahim & Bonaldo, 2008 -, and three species from the Brazilian Atlantic Forest: A. itacolomi Santos & Santos, 2010, A. tonze Santos & Santos, 2010, and A. caramba Buckup & Rodrigues, 2011. Another species, Alpaida arvoredo Buckup & Rodrigues, 2011, was described based on the male specimens attributed by LEVI (1988) to Alpaida hoffmanni Levi, 1988.…”

ABSTRACT. Two new species of Alpaida O.P.-Cambridge, 1889 are described based on male and female specimens from seven restinga areas from northeastern to southern Brazil. Alpaida teresinha sp. nov., from Rio de Janeiro and Espírito Santo, differs from other species of the genus in the wider lobe of the conductor, the concave median apophysis and with the posterior lobe ventrally positioned, and the wrinkled distal projection of the terminal apophysis in males.Females can be recognized by having widely spaced epigynal lips and by the narrow epigynal notch in ventral view.Alpaida toninho sp. nov., from Bahia, Espírito Santo, Rio de Janeiro and Santa Catarina, can be distinguished by the round lobes of the terminal apophysis, and by the median apophysis with a distal lobe and a projection in males, and by the epigynum elliptical, with a short scape in females.
