Melloleitaoina yupanqui is a species of spider in the Theraphosidae family, and the Theraphosinae subfamily. It is endemic to Argentina.[1]
Etymology
Yupanqui, the specific name of this species, is in honour of Atahualpa Yupanqui, a famous musician and a synonym of Héctor Aramburu.[2]
Characteristics
M. yupanqui has a very curved embolus with no triangular spine, and a discontinued prolateral superior keel (still on the embolus) which separates into two keels. The female spermathecae are short and with large granules.[2]
