Diagnosis Ero lizae sp. nov. can be distinguished from all presently known congeners based on the presence of two large spike-like protuberances on the dorso-posterior opisthosoma (Figs 2, 4A–D, 6A) (dorso-posterior opisthosoma without two large spike-like protuberances in all other known congeners). Further distinguished from the male of E. aphana by palp morphology, with the ventral blade twice the length of the dorsal extensions and lower dorsal extension little more than half the length of upper dorsal extension (Figs 3, 5A–B, 6F, 7) (ventral blade less than twice the length of the dorsal extensions and lower dorsal extension more than half the length of upper dorsal extension in E. aphana). Also distinguished further from males of E. natashae sp. nov. by non-hooked retrolateral cymbial process and the wider and less developed conductor (retrolateral cymbial ... : Published as part of Sherwood, Danniella, Henrard, Arnaud, Peters, Martina, Price, Benjamin W., Hall, Andie C., White, Oliver W., Grignet, Virginie & Wilkins, Vicky, 2024, Two new sympatric species of the pirate spider genus Ero C.
