New species and records of Otiothopinae from the Southern Atlantic Rainforest, with notes on the claw tufts in Fernandezina Birabén (Araneae: Palpimanidae)

Abstract

Two new species of Otiothops MacLeay, 1839 (O. Atalaia sp. N. And O. Goytacaz sp. N.), a new species of Fernandezina Birabén, 1951 (F. Jurubatiba sp. N.) as well as the female of F. Tijuca Ramírez & Grismado, 1996 are described from the Atlantic Rainforest of southeastern Brazil, in the state of Rio de Janeiro. Scanning electron microscope images of the tarsi of F. Jurubatiba sp. N. And F dasilvai Platnick, Grismado & Ramírez, 1999 show that this genus has claw tufts on the posterior legs, composed of setae of variable structure.
