Leaf-curling Spider Leviana cincinnata Framenau & Kuntner, 2022

(after Framenau & Kuntner 2022): Leviana cincinnata differs distinctly from all other species in the genus by its uniform olive-grey abdominal colouration with only a white patch antero-centrally. All other species of Leviana have some dark to black abdominal markings. Male genital morphology is most similar to L. dimidiata due to the broadly lobed tip of the median apophysis and the strong spine in the basal arch of the median apophysis, but both species distinctly differ in the strong sclerotization of the conductor in L. dimidiata, that is absent in L. cincinnata. The epigyne scape is much broader than in any other species of Leviana.
