Male holotype from Papua New Guinea, Madang Province, Baiteta [5°0rS, 145°45'E], "can- opy mission, AR64", no further data, in IRSB. Etymology. The specific name is a noun in apposition, derived from the type locality. Diagnosis. Distinguished from congeners by mor- phology of male palp (Figs. 419, 420; shapes of procursus and bulbal processes), and female internal genitalia (Figs. 278, 424, 425; shapes of pore plates and other internal structures). Male (holotype). Total body length , carapace width Leg 1: + + + , tarsus missing, tibia 2: , tibia 3: , tibia 4: , tibia 2/4: , tibia 1 IVd: 96. Habitus as in Figs. 236 and 237. Carapace ochre-yellow, ocular area and clypeus light brown, sternum ochre-yellow, legs pale ochre- yellow with brown patella area and tibia-metatarsus joints, abdomen monochromous whitish ochre. Distance PME-PME 400 pm, diameter PME 95 pm, distance PME-ALE 45 pm, no AME (some irregular pigment but no lenses). Ocular area barely elevated, each triad on low hump. No thoracic furrow; clyp- eus unmodified. Chelicerae as in Fig. 423, with pair of lateral apophyses very distally. Sternum about as wide as long (), unmodified. Palps as in Figs. 419 and 420, coxa unmodified, trochanter with long ventral apophysis with fine distal ridges, femur proximally slender with retrolateral apophysis, dis- tally with large ventral protrusion, procursus without spines
