“…The states of Pará (e.g., Ricetti & Bonaldo 2008;Bonaldo et al 2009b) and Amazonas (e.g., Höfer & Brescovit 2001;Adis et al 2002;Bonaldo et al 2009a;Dias & Bonaldo 2012) concentrate most of the published spider inventories, collaborating for such heterogeneous knowledge. Additionally, in the last 15 years, knowledge of spiders in the states of Roraima, Rondônia, Acre, and Amapá has increased mainly through taxonomic papers (e.g., Polotow & Brescovit 2008;Abrahim et al 2012;Ruiz & Brescovit 2013;Rodrigues 2013;Paula et al 2014;Costa & Ruiz 2014;Bertani et al 2016), but no lists of spider species have been published or updated.…”

Abstract:The Brazilian spider fauna comprises thousands of described species, mostly known by only one or two records, and there are large sampling gaps. The spider fauna of the state of Roraima is enigmatic in Brazil and remains largely unknown. Herein, we present a list of spider species recently collected during an expedition in Roraima. Species-level identifications were possible for 229 adult individuals of 54 species. Five species are newly recorded from Brazil, and 30 species are presented for the first time from Roraima. Most of these new records are represented by widespread species, representing the huge and historical deficiency in the spider sampling throughout Roraima.

The neotropical genus Scopocira was described by Simon (1900) to include the type species S. dentichelis Simon, 1900 from Venezuela, and S. tenella Simon, 1900 and S. histrio Simon, 1900 from Brazil. Subsequently, different authors, such as Mello-Leitão (1922, 1941), Chamberlin & Ivie (1936), Crane (1945), Galiano (1958, 1963, 1969, 1981, 1982),Vedel et al. (2013) and Rubio (2014), made additions, changes, transfers and new reports in the genus. Recently, Costa & Ruiz (2014) presented a taxonomic revision of Scopocira, validating six of the previously described species and describing eight new species from South America, increasing the known diversity of the genus up to 14 species. Species of Scopocira can be recognized by the presence of one apophysis on the prolateral face of the male chelicerae and embolus arising from the retrolateral side of the tegulum in the male palps (Galiano 1958; Costa & Ruiz 2014). While comparing material from Colombia to the illustrations of the revision (Costa & Ruiz 2014), it was possible to identify a new species and the undescribed female of one species described in that paper. The new species is described here, based on specimens collected in the Amazonian department of Vaupés, Colombia. Also, the female of S. crotalica Costa & Ruiz, 2014 is described and illustrated for the first time, based on material from the Amazonian state of Guainía, Colombia. Additionally, S. dentichelis Simon, 1900 and S. tenella Simon, 1900 are also newly recorded from this country.
