Meri guri spec. nov. Figs 162–168, 316 Type material. Holotype: VENEZUELA: Bolivar: ♂, Guri [7.6500, ‑62.8333], S. Puerto Ordaz, 3–15 July 1998, H. & A. Howden leg. (AMNH). Etymology. The specific name refers to the type locality; noun in apposition. Diagnosis. Males of M. guri spec. nov. resemble those of M. jaraua spec. nov. (Figs 169–172) by the palp with tegulum strongly indented prolaterally and embolus C-shaped with long membranous region (Figs 163, 165). They are distinguished from the latter species by the RTA with rounded base abruptly narrowed medially towards tip (Fig. 164) (RTA gradually tapering in M. jaraua spec. nov.). Females are unknown. Description. Male (holotype): Total length 13.3. Prosoma 5.8 long, 5.0 wide. Opisthosoma 7.0 long, 4.4 wide. Eyes: diameters: 0.42, 0.32, 0.26, 0.30; interdistances: 0.30, 0.16, 0.50, 0.45, 0.30, 0.15. Legs: I: 30.1 (8.1, 3.0, 8.4, 8.5, 2.1); II: 31.6 (8.7, 3.0, 8.7, 9.0, 2.2); III: 21.9 (6.6, 2.2, 5.7, 5.7, 1.7); IV: 25.1 (7.5, 2.1, 6.5, 6.8, 1.9). Spination follows the generic pattern except tibia II: d1-0-1; femur IV: r1-1-1; metatarsus IV: p1-1-1. Palp: PTA triangular, distally rounded, wider than long; RTA roughly 1.5 times longer than its widest part (retrolateral view); cymbium with small retroproximal projection; subtegulum barely visible in ventral view between 8:30–9 o’clock; tegulum slightly protruding over conductor base; conductor roughly the same width throughout (Figs 162–168). Female. Unknown. Distribution. Only known from the type locality (Fig. 316).
