TI  - The first species of the genus Caponina from Brazilian Amazonia (Araneae: 
      Caponiidae).
PG  - 296-8
AB  - The genus Caponina Simon, 1891 comprises eleven species of medium-sized, 
      soil-dwelling caponiids. Most members of Caponina have six eyes, but some have 
      five, four, three or two eyes (Brignoli 1977, Platnick 1994). The genus is 
      widespread in South and Central America (Platnick 2012). To date, only three 
      species have been recorded from Brazil: Caponina alegre Platnick, 1994 from the 
      state of Rio Grande do Sul, C. notabilis (Mello-Leitao, 1939) from the states of 
      Parana and Rio Grande do Sul, and C. tijuca Platnick, 1994 from the state of Rio 
      de Janeiro (Platnick 1994). In this paper we describe a new species from the 
      state of Para, in Brazilian Amazonia. Caponina papamanga new species was 
      collected during the "Butantan na Amazonia" project, founded by the Instituto 
      Butantan. The phylogenetic relationships of C. papamanga could not be studied, 
      but the greatly elongated embolus, the dorsal tubercle on the palpal femur (Figs. 
      7, 9) and the massive epigynal sclerotizations (Fig. 10) suggest that this 
      species belongs to the monophyletic Andean group proposed by Platnick (1994: 7). 
      All morphological observations and illustrations were made using a Leica MZ12 
      stereomicroscope with camera lucida. The epigynum was dissected and immersed in 
      clove oil for visualization of internal structures following Levi (1965). 
      Descriptions and measurements follow Platnick (1994). Measurements are given in 
      millimeters. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) images were taken using a 
      Jeol-JSM-5200 with attached SLR digital camera. The material examined was 
      deposited in the collections of the Instituto Butantan, Sgo Paulo (IBSP, curator: 
      D.M. Barros Battesti) and the Museu Paraense Emilio Goeldi, Belem (MPEG, curator: 
      A.B. Bonaldo).
