Chaco sanjuanina explained

Chaco sanjuanina is a species of mygalomorph spiders of Argentina, named after its type locality: San Agustin, Valle Fertil, San Juan, Argentina.[1] Males can be distinguished from those of its cogenerates by the more conical bulb; females differ from C. tecka in having fewer spines on the metatarsus IV, and from C. patagonica in having labial cuspules arranged in a transverse row and the more numerous maxillary ones.
