Diagnosis The male of Idiops petiti differs from that of other Neotropical species, except I. carajas , by having the palpal tibia with spines concentrated in the basal half of the retrolateral depression (Fig. 26C), the tibial apophysis with a narrow apical branch and rectangular in shape (Fig. 26G–H) and by the presence of a lateral lamella that extends along the median portion of the embolus (Fig. 26E–F). Differs from I. carajas by having the subapical portion of the embolus thin and straight (Fig. 26E–F) and the metatarsus of the leg I slightly curved and with a small prolateral projection on the apical half (Figs 26I). Females are distinguished from congeners, except I. carajas , by having the spermathecae with a large sclerotized trapezoidal base and V-shaped ducts (Fig. 26L). Differs from I. carajas by its large oval-shaped receptacula (Fig. 26L). Type material Holotype of Acanthodon petitii Guérin, 1838 BRAZIL – Pará • ♀; Santarém; BMNH 1890.7.1.320. Holotype of Acanthodon santaremia O. Pickard-Cambridge, 1896 BRAZIL – Pará • juv.; Santarém; Mar. 1896; O. P.-Cambridge leg.; BMNH 1896.12.13.66. Holotype of Idiops crulsi Mello-Leitão, 1930 BRAZIL – Pará • ♀; Oriximná, Rio Cuminá; G. Cruls leg.; MNRJ 0007. Lost in the fire of 2018. The type specimen of Idiops petiti was originally deposited in a dry collection and subsequently rehydrated and stored in alcohol. Although clearly an adult female, the specimen has lost many legs and the spermathecae, because the abdomen was stuffed with cotton. This prevented a more detailed description. The type specimen of I. santaremius was examined and recognized as a juvenile of I. petiti .
