Materials Examined
Type material.Holotype: male, DOMINICAN REPUBLIC: Pedernales: Laguna de Oviedo, 17.802 ° N, 71.349 ° W, elev. 5 m, 14 July 2009, coll. W. Maddison, G. B. Edwards, J. Zhang, G. Ruiz, WPM#09-032 (UBC-SEM AR00036). Paratype: 1 female, same data as holotype (UBC-SEM AR00037).
Etymology
Etymology. A noun in apposition taken from the type locality.
Diagnosis
Diagnosis. Similar to Agobardus brevitarsus Bryant, 1943 in the shape of male chelicera (Fig. 40), and to A. perpilosus Bryant, 1943 in the shape of male palp (Fig. 39). It differs from A. brevitarsus in the shorter embolus (Fig. 39), the dentition on the male chelicera (Fig. 40), and the smaller epigynal window (Fig. 41). It can be distinguished from A. perpilosus by the teeth pattern and the presence of a cusp on the fang of the male chelicera (Fig. 40). Figures 37–42.Agobardus oviedo sp. nov.37 male holotype, dorsal view; 38 female paratype, dorsal view; 39 male left palp, ventral view; 40 male left chelicera, back view; 41 epigynum, ventral view; 42 cleared epigynum, dorsal view. Scale bars: 37 – 38, 0.5 mm; 40, 0.2 mm; 39, 41 –42, 0.1 mm.
