(from Guadanucci 2011). Differs from other ischnocoline and resembles genus Catumiri Guadanucci, 2004 by the labium much wider than long, bearing a reduced number of cuspules (fewer than 10). It differs from Catumiri Guadanucci, 2004 by the undivided tarsal scopula on legs I–III and scopula on tarsi IV undivided but with a longitudinal band of setae, the metatarsus I having scopula ventrally for all its length, the well-developed retrolateral branch of the male tibial apophysis, the tarsal claws of males without teeth, and by the spermathecae with numerous lobules.

Males of D. bolivianum resemble those of D. dominguense , D. camargorum sp. n., and D. mottai sp. n. by the presence of a small subapical keel on male palpal bulb embolus (Figs 1–2, 4–5, 25). They differ from D. dominguense (Guadanucci 2007, f. 26–28) by the short embolus; from D. mottai sp. n. (Figs 9–10, 24) by the less curved and longer embolus; and from D. camargorum sp. n. (Figs 14–15, 19–20, 26–27) by stouter embolus, mainly on its more basal portion. Females of D. bolivianum (Fig. 8) resemble those of D. camargorum sp. n. (Fig. 18, 23) and D. mottai sp. n. (Fig. 13) by the short spermathecae. They differ from D. camargorum sp. n. by the shorter and somewhat triangular shape; from D. mottai sp. n. they differ by slender spermathecae and cephalothorax covered by brown setae.

Bolivia, department of Santa Cruz; and Brazil, state of Mato Grosso (Fig. 36).

Guadanucci (2007) examined only males from the type locality of D. bolivianum, even though a photo of a female (Guadanucci 2007, f. 9) is shown in his paper. The female of D. bolivianum was originally described based on a casting skin by Vol (2001), and the specimen, a paratype, was not located in the MHNNKM where it should be deposited. Thus, herein, the topotypical female is described and illustrated for first time.

The species is found in Bosque montañoso (Bolivian Montaine Dry Forests) in Bolivia and Cerrado (a type of savannah vegetation) in Brazil. One of the authors (ISR) collected females and immatures under rocks on the way to mountains on Samaipata (Figs 28–29), Santa Cruz, Bolivia, during the day and afternoon (December 2015).

Males of D. mottai sp. n. resemble those of D. dominguense (Guadanucci 2007, f. 26–28), D. camargorum sp. n. (Figs 14–15, 19–20, 26–27) and D. bolivianum (Figs 1–2, 4–5, 25) by the presence of a small subapical keel on male palpal bulb embolus. They differ from all these species by the very short and strongly curved embolus (Figs 9–10, 24). Females of D. mottai sp. n. (Fig. 13) resemble those of D. camargorum sp. n. (Fig. 18, 23) and D. bolivianum (Fig. 8) by the short spermathecae. They differ from D. camargorum sp. n. by the shorter and somewhat triangular spermathecae shape; from D. bolivianum sp. n. they differ by broader spermathecae. Additionally, males and females differ from all Dolichothele species by the carapace covered with iridescent red setae (Figs 28–29).

Brazil, Distrito Federal and state of Goiás (Fig. 36).

The specimens used by Guadanucci (2007) to redescribe D. bolivianum (MZUSP 26076 and MZUSP 23224) were reanalyzed and belong to D. mottai sp. n. The female specimen (IBSP 103094) from Miranda (Agachi), state of Mato Grosso do Sul, Brazil, cited by Lucas and Indicatti (2015) as D. bolivianum has long and slender spermathecae with several lobes on apex and laterals. Therefore, it seems related with forms from eastern Brazil (see Guadanucci 2007, 2011), and probably the locality is a label mistake.

Dolichothele mottai sp. n. occurs on the Cerrado strictosensu from Central-Western Brazil. The female constructs silk tunnels under rocks and logs, and males were found moving between September and November when they leave their shelter to search for females, in Distrito Federal (Motta 2014).

Males of D. camargorum sp. n. (Figs 14–15, 19–20, 27) resemble those of D. dominguense (Guadanucci 2007, f. 26–28), D. bolivianum sp. n. (Figs 1–2, 4–5, 25) and D. mottai sp. n. (Figs 9–10, 24) by the presence of a small subapical keel on male palpal bulb embolus. They differ from D. dominguense by the short embolus; from D. mottai sp. n. by the less curved and longer embolus; and from D. bolivianum by the slender embolus. Females of D. camargorum sp. n. (Figs 18, 23) resemble those of D. bolivianum and D. mottai sp. n. by the short spermathecae. They differ from both D. bolivianum and D. mottai sp. n. by the long and narrow spermathecae shape.

Immatures (Fig. 33) have black carapace and abdomen and the legs are dorsally greyish to brownish with black tarsi. The abdomen dorsum shows broad black marks on the laterals and a narrow posterior black stripe (Fig. 33). Adult females have only four broad black marks extending laterally.

The specific name is a patronym in honor of Dr. Erney F. Plessmann de Camargo and Dr. Luis Marcelo Aranha Camargo for their efforts to develop medical and biological research in the state of Rondônia, Brazil. They encouraged the field work on which the specimens of this new species were collected.

Remarks. Guadanucci (2007) examined a single specimen of this new species from Brazil, a female from State of Rondônia, Porto Velho, U. H. Samuel (IBSP 9506). This specimen was not examined here, as it was destroyed by a fire in the Instituto Butantan collection buildings in 2010. Other specimens examined from nearby localities show the female has very distinct spermathecae, slender and with lobes only on their tips (Figs 18, 23). The male has a more slender embolus, mainly on its base (Figs 14–15, 27). Males, females and immatures have distinct color patterns from those of D. bolivianum and D. mottai sp. n. Male and female from Rurrenabaque, Beni, Bolivia shown in Guadanucci (2007) f. 11–12 have a distinct color pattern. As only two males and a female were examined from Bolivia, it is not possible to conclude whether it is morphological variation or another undescribed species. For this reason, figures of male palpal bulb and spermathecae were included to show the morphological variation in the specimens from the two distant localities (Figs 19–21, 26).

Dolichothele camargorum sp. n. occurs in the Amazon region, probably in Cerrado remnants.

Guadanucci (2007, 2011) recognized eight species in Oligoxystre Vellard, 1924 (now Dolichothele). One of these species, D. bolivianum, was considered to have a wide distribution from Central-Western Brazil to Bolivia, close to the Andes (Guadanucci 2007). Guadanucci (2007) found variation in color pattern throughout the distribution of this species but considered them as local population variation. Examining the available material of Guadanucci (2007) together with additional specimens recently collected, it is possible to recognize two more species, which are herein described. Dolichothele mottai sp. n. males clearly have a shorter embolus with a strong “S”-shaped curvature (Figs 9–10, 24), distinct from the longer and straighter embolus of D. bolivianum (Figs 1–2, 4–5, 25). Dolichothele mottai sp. n. females have a broader spermathecae than those of D. bolivianum (Fig. 13) and, as the male, have the carapace with a distinct color pattern of iridescent reddish setae covering it (Figs 30–31). Another new species also closely related with D. bolivianum was recognized from the state of Rondônia, Brazil and department La Paz, Bolivia. Males of the new species D. camargorum sp. n. have a slender embolus (Figs 14–15, 19–20, 27), when comparing with D. bolivianum, and the females have narrow spermathecae with lobes restricted to their apex (Fig. 18). The color pattern is also distinct, males have a dark carapace with orange setae on its borders and the females have dark marks on the lateral abdomen (Figs 33, 35), character unknown in other species of Dolichothele.
