Sailor's Artoria Artoria velata Prado, Baptista & Framenau, 2026

(after Prado, Baptista & Framenau, 2026): Males of A. velata resemble those of A. globula. The male pedipalp of both species bears a very broad tegular apophysis with its basal portion subrectangular, flat and wide, and distal portion trapezoidal much wider, with a subtriangular central poorly sclerotized plate. However, in A. velata the tegular apophysis has a conspicuous rounded notch between its basal and distal portions, and its distal portion has a prolateral subtriangular sclerotized wide and thin plate and a thinner retrolateral stalk, while in A. globula the tegular apophysis has no conspicuous notch between its basal and distal portions and has thick prolateral and retrolateral stalks. In addition, the male pedipalp of A. velata has a larger basoembolic apophysis with a rounded apex, narrower and thinner embolus, and a heavily sclerotized terminal apophysis which is wider than the embolus, while males of A. globula have a smaller basoembolic apophysis with a sawed apex, much broader and thicker embolus, and a thin and poorly sclerotized terminal apophysis mostly covered by the embolus.
