The specific name is a noun in apposition from the type locality name. Diagnosis. Males of Actinopus apiacas resemble those of A. paranensis (Fig. 114 A–D) and A. hirsutus (Fig. 37 A–D) by hirsute legs. They differ from those of all species of the genus by the PA displaced dorsally in relation to a middle longitudinal line along prolateral tegular surface and separated from prolateral tegular border; embolar serrated area extremely developed, with three rows of large cusps (Fig. 201 A–C). MALE (IBSP 1105003): Total length 20; Carapace, long 9; wide 8.75. Carapace rounded. Anterior eye row slightly procurved, posterior row recurved (Fig. 199 B). One long bristle between AME-clypeus and row of short and weak bristles on border of clypeus. One long bristle betweenALE–ALP and many short, weak bristles between posterior eyes-fovea and lateral eyes-edge of carapace. Sternum with eight sigilla fused medially, two distal sigilla more fused than others (Fig. 199 C). Rastellum protuberant, inverted V-shaped, hirsute, without spines apically (Fig. 199 E–F). Chelicerae with 25 denticles along prolateral row of teeth. Prolateral row with seven megateeth and two basal teeth. Retrolateral row with six megateeth and two basal teeth (Fig. 199 D). Patella and tibia III with distal crown of well-developed thorns, not interrupted in middle (Fig. 200 A–B). Patellae III and IV with spines on prolaterodorsal face (Fig. 200 A, C). Tibia IV without spines on dorsal surface (Fig. 200 D). Legs and body, hirsute, with many long bristles. Ventral pseudoscopulae occupying 20% of tarsus I, 60% of II and 100% of III and IV. Pseudoscopula of tarsi I and II with setae spaced, forming diffuse group of bristles; On tarsi III and IV, compact. Carapace and chelicerae dark brown; sternum, coxae, trochantera, femora, patellae, tibiae, metatarsi and tarsi reddish brown; Abdomen pale gray, with many spots of unpigmentation on dorsal surface and many long bristles (Fig. 199 A).

Palp: PA conspicuous, displaced dorsally in relation to a middle longitudinal line along prolateral tegular surface and away from tegular border. Embolus with two keels (PI and PS). BTA developed and displaced dorsally in relation to middle longitudinal line along prolateral tegular surface; serrated area represented by three rows of big notable cusps below PA in prolateral view; PA continuous to PS; Embolar base flattened, large, PI rotating length of embolus from base to apex; several grooves cover prolateral tegular surface, distal third of embolus with prolateral lamelae (Fig. 201 A–C).
