Ariadna boliviana Simon, 1907 Figures 3‒5, 7‒8, 10, 36‒37, 71 Ariadna boliviana Simon, 1907: 262 (♀ lectotype and ♂ lectoparatype from Espíritu Santo, [16°55'S; 67°48'W], BoliVia, Garlepp leg., deposited in MNHNP-AR 14382 and 14383, respectively, designated by Beatty (1970), examined).— Petrunkevitch (1911: 130).— Beatty (1970: 477, figs 4, 6, 14, 51‒52, 54‒55).— World Spider Catalog (2018). Ariadna dubia Mello-Leitão, 1917: 82 (♀ holotype from Pinheiro (actually Piraí, Pinheiral [22°30'46"S, 44°00'03"W], Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, E. Brito leg., should be deposited in MNRJ 1452, lost).— Beatty (1970: 483, as nomem dubium ).— Moreira et al. (2010: 61).— NEW SYNONYMY . Synonymy. Mello-Leitão (1917) described A. dubia based in a dried and pinned specimen, with a deformed and seared abdomen. Beatty (1970), due to the unavailability of the holotype and the poor description of Mello-Leitão, treated it as nomem dubium . There are two species registered to the type-locality of A. dubia : Ariadna boliviana Simon, 1907 and Ariadna obscura (Blackwall, 1858). According to the macrosetae pattern presented by Mello-Leitão (1917) in A. dubia 's original description, the tibiae I‒II presents 2-2-2-2 pattern (vp1-0-1-0-1-0-1, vr1-0-1-0-1-0-1) and metatarsi I and II with seven pairs of macrosetae. This macrosetae pattern is consistent with the one from A. boliviana , and differs from A. obscura . Based in the characters presented by Mello-Leitão (1917), A. dubia is considered junior-synonymy of A. boliviana .

(NHM 1906.3.24.3-1500 (hart)). Diagnosis. Ariadna boliviana is similar to A. isthmica , A. ipojuca n. sp. and A. gaucha n. sp. due to the morphology of male palp (Figs 37A‒B, 44A‒B, 58G‒H, 61A‒B), metatarsi IV (Figs 36F, 43F, 58F, 60F), and leg macrosetae pattern of females, but differ by the presence of males with sinuous metatarsi I, with a marked bend in the proximal region (Fig. 36C‒E); females differ from these species, except A. gaucha n. sp. , by the presence of a ventral lobe longer than the dorsal one; it differs from A. gaucha n. sp. by the less sinuous ventral lobe (Figs 10A‒C, 37C‒D). Description. Male (IBSP 152775). Carapace and chelicerae brownish orange (Fig. 36A). Endites orange; labium dark orange. Sternum orange with darker margins, and three pairs of dark marginal areas, the hind one fainted (Fig. 36B). Palps light orange (Fig. 37A‒B). Legs brownish orange, pairs I‒II darker, with the femur, patella and tibia marbled with dark pigment, and dark diffuse rings in the distal region of metatarsus (Fig. 36C‒F). Abdomen grey, lighter ventrally (Fig. 36A‒B). Total length 8.64; carapace 4.12 long, 2.8 wide. Palps: tibia incrassated, with the dorso-ventral diameter shorter than the bulb; bulb sub-rectangular, mid-portion shorter than the embolus and directed backwards; mid-portion/embolus transition conspicuous; embolus long and with a tubular tip (Figs 4A‒C, 37A‒B). Legs: robust and coated with setae (Fig. 36C‒F); metatarsi I with short macrosetae, with similar size (Fig. 36C‒E); metatarsi IV sinuous, in lateral view (Fig. 36F); tarsal brush of putative chemosensory setae present in legs II‒IV, extending to the median region of the metatarsi (Fig. 36F). Leg formula: I-II-IV-III. Leg measurements: I, femur 3.92, patella 1.6, tibia 3.56, metatarsus 3.84, tarsus 0.84, total 13.76; II, 3.76, 1.6, 3.44, 3.6, 0.84, 13.24; III, 2.68, 1.28, 2.04, 2.24, 0.76, 9.0; IV, 3.16, 1.48, 2.6, 2.32, 0.8, 10.36.
