Legs: I: 4.61; II: 4.59; III: 3.91; IV: 5.82. COLORATION. Carapace, chelicerae, sternum, labium and endites reddish (Fig. 2 A – B). Palps and legs light orange. Abdomen dorsally dark gray with dorsal pattern formed by five wide light chevron stripes, medially joined by thin longitudinal band; ventrally whitish gray (Fig. 2 A – B). LEGS AND PALPS. Crista absent or unnoticeable; gladius with common nopine shape. Palp with small globose tegulum and embolus slightly curved anteriorly, tip with accentuated curvature with subdistal modification and beveled opening (Figs 2 E – F, 7 B, G). Female (paratype, Fig. 2 C – D, G – H) MEASUREMENTS. Total length 5.91. Carapace 2.11 long, 1.74 wide. Sternum 1.33 long, 1.08 wide. Legs: I: 5.01; II: 4.36; III: 3.51; IV: 5.74. COLORATION. As in the male (Fig. 2 C – D). GENITALIA. External genitalia with narrow, triangular area below genital opening (Fig. 2 G); internal genitalia not studied (internal membranous structures completely destroyed during enzymatic digestion, Fig. 2 H). Variation Males (n = 3): total length: 4.72 – 4.94; carapace length: 2.01 – 2.05. Natural history All types were collected with pitfall traps baited with human excrement, used to collect dung beetles and ants, mainly in frailejón plants (Espeletia grandiflora Humb. & Bonpl.) and grassland. Specimens belonging to ant-eating spiders such as Zodariidae Thorell, 1881 were collected together with Medionops in large numbers, probably due to the high availability of prey. Aspects on the natural history of Nopinae spiders are poorly known and only a few studies on the trophic specialization of Nops have been done (see García et al. 2018; Teruel & Sánchez-Ruiz 2000). These studies highlight the remarkable preference of some nopine species for feeding on arachnids (little scorpions and other spiders). Although no detailed studies have been conducted, the adhesive membranous structures (crista and gladius) on the first two pairs of nopine legs are pobably involved in the prey capture process.	en	Martínez, Leonel, Sánchez-Ruiz, Alexander, Bonaldo, Alexandre B.

03B887D5FF95FFB35654F929FC95D494.taxon	discussion	Remarks The holotype was found in a high Andean humid forest (Fig. 8 C – D) and the female paratype was found in a protected area (Sanctuary of Flora and Fauna Iguaque) where human intervention is limited (Fig. 8 E – F). The record of this female specimen is separated by only 24 km from the type locality and 8 km from the most distant examined specimen located outside the type locality. The height above sea level between type and female localities hardly differs by about 300 m and even the environments are very similar in both locations (Fig 8 C – F). We tentatively matched this female with males from the type locality by similarities in the coloration pattern, but confirmation of this association will be possible only when more samples come to light. We believe that proposing this doubtful association is preferable to making available a possibly unnecessary specific name.	en	Martínez, Leonel, Sánchez-Ruiz, Alexander, Bonaldo, Alexandre B.
