The genus
Abbreviations: AME = anterior median eyes, ALE = anterior lateral eyes, PME = posterior median eyes, PLE = posterior lateral eyes, OQ = ocular quadrangle (including lateral eyes), d = dorsal, p = prolateral, r = retrolateral, v = ventral; MPEG = Museu Paraense Emílio Goeldi (Belém, Pará, Brazil). Male palpal organ keel terminology (following Bertani 2000): PSK = prolateral superior keel; PIK = prolateral inferior keel; SAK = subapical keel. All measurements are in millimeters (mm) and were taken using an ocular micrometer. The total length excludes chelicerae and spinnerets. Drawings were made with a camera lucida, with a stereomicroscope Zeiss Discovery V8. Urticating setae terminology follows
Bumba (feminine) is taken from Brazilian theatrical folk tradition of the popular festival called Boi-bumbá (hit my bull), which takes place annually in North and Northeastern Brazil.

Fovea transverse, straight, width 2.06. Labium length 1.90, width 2.80, with 58 cuspules, maxillae with 218 cuspules in a triangular group with base on the proximal edge. Sternum length 7.75, width 6.63, posterior sigillae submarginal. Chelicerae with 12/11 promarginal teeth (5 to 8/9 from distal tip, smaller); a group 29/30 very small proximal teeth, behind promarginal ones. Tarsi I–IV densely scopulate, scopula I–III entire, IV divided by a narrow line of longer conical setae. Metatarsi I scopulate on distal half, II scopulate on distal third, III scopulate on distal fourth and IV apically scopulate. Tibia I with two prolatero-ventral, distal, unequal apophysis (Figs

The specific name is patronymic in honor of John Winston Lennon (1940–1980), the legendary creator of The Beatles, who contributed to make this world a gentler place.
All specimens from Estação Científica Ferreira Penna, FLONA Caxiuanã were collected in pit-fall traps used for herpetological surveys or in nocturnal manual searching, in both flooded and dry areas.
