C5D53D6B3C4254799DDCE54F0EA5EE36.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. Spintharus leverger sp. nov. differ from all other Spintharus species by the large and robustly sclerotized spermathecae of the female genitalia (Fig. 2 G-I) and the tight distal compression of male palpal sclerites, with most of the tegulum exposed (Fig. 2 N).	en	LeMay, Gabriel A., Agnarsson, Ingi (2020): New species of smiley-faced spider Spintharus (Araneae, Theridiidae) from Brazil, and comments on unobserved diversity in South America.

49EE210DB31251188C60F50BA272ABA1.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. Spintharus gracilis females differ from all other Spintharus species by the long and narrow abdomen being> 3 x longer than wide (Fig. 1 A-C). Males differ from all other Spintharus species by the extremely long embolus traversing the entire outer edge of the tegulum (Fig. 1 J, K, O). Figure 1. Spintharus gracilis Keyserling from Rio Grande do Sul, Sao Leopoldo. Female (A-C); A dorsal B ventral C lateral. Male (D-F); D dorsal E ventral F lateral G-I epigynum: G digested dorsal H digested ventral I undigested ventral J palp ventral K male syntype palp illustrated by Levi (1963 a). L-N Male from Rio Grande do Sul, Eldorado do Sul (30 ° 05 ' 32.2 " S, 51 ° 40 ' 20.4 " W) L dorsal M ventral N lateral O palp ventral. While we hypothesize that all illustrated palps belong to S. gracilis, note that the male from Eldorado do Sul is smaller, has smaller palp, and differs subtly in conformation, e. g., area of tegulum exposed.	en	LeMay, Gabriel A., Agnarsson, Ingi (2020): New species of smiley-faced spider Spintharus (Araneae, Theridiidae) from Brazil, and comments on unobserved diversity in South America.
