Abstract
- Sumampattus Galiano, 1983 comprise three species from South America, the genus is diagnosed by the male palps with an embolus and a cymbial groove with an inclination to the prolateral side, accompanied by a membranous conductor and proximal retrolateral lobe of tegulum distal division, emerging from the dorsal border, moderately turned and twisted. In females, the epigynum has a large posterior atrium, accompanied by a carena septum and absent visible posteriorly-opening coupling pocket. In this work, a new spider species Sumampattus verae sp. n. (male and female) found associated with low vegetation in the Pampa Biome, Southern Brazil, is diagnosed, illustrated and described.
