Description of Toca, a new neotropical spider genus (araneae, ctenidae, calocteninae)

ABSTRACT

Toca new genus is proposed to include two new species the type species T. bossanova new species from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, and T. samba new species from Parana and Minas Gerais, Brazil. Toca may be related to Caloctenus Keyserling and Gephyroctenus Mello-Leitao, with which it shares the scales on the abdominal dorsum and the epigynum as a single, slightly sclerotized, fold. The genus can be distinguished among the Calocteninae genera by its unique genital structures.
