Name
Ilyapa longispina Dietrich, 2011 sp. n. – Wikispecies link – ZooBank link – Pensoft Profile
Description
Length male 5.9–6.2 mm; female 7.1–7.5 mm. Coloration as described for Ilyapa bifida except crown margin mostly white; apical margin of crown forming approximately right angle. Male pygofer processes slender, crossing posteromedially; anal tube with pair of retrorse posterolateral spines; plate apex angulate mesally. Anal tube processes long with apices curved ventrad; pygofer processes shorter, not meeting medially; apical process of aedeagus more elongate, with minute preapical spine posteriorly. Female seventh sternite with posterior margin trilobed with median lobe acute and larger than lateral lobes.

Etymology
The species name refers to the long distal spine of the aedeagus.
Notes
This species may be distinguished by its moderately long crown and by the elongate, laterally directed distal spine of the aedeagus.
One specimen from Yanachaga-Chemillén National Park, Peru, has the distal spine of the aedeagus extended to the right, mirroring the condition found in other examined specimens of this species. Specimens examined from Yanachaga-Chemillén National Park have the anal tube processes considerably shorter than those in the type series from Chanchamayo, but such variation is here considered to be intraspecific. Based on the material available for study, this is the most widespread and common species of the genus.
