Etymology. The specific name is a noun in apposition and refers to the Camarapi River, a watercourse that runs through the type locality.

Diagnosis. Males of Trachelopachys camarapisp. nov. resemble those of T. keyserlingi (Roewer, 1951), T. gracilis (Keyserling, 1891) and T. singularis (Caporiacco, 1955) by the massive, slightly bifid retrolateral tibial apophysis and narrow and membranous conductor (Figs 1C, D; Platnick 1975: figs 34, 35, 38, 39, 54, 55), differing by the wider embolus with a bifid tip (Fig. 1C); females are similar to those of T. singularis by the continuous and arched anterior margin of the median atrium (Fig. 1E; Platnick 1975: fig. 56), but differ by the gradual curvature of the posterior part of the spermatheca (Fig. 1F). Females further differ from those of all other congeners by the anterior part of the spermathecae resting anteriorly to the anterior margin of the atrium (Figs 1E, F).

Epigyne: atrium oval, longer than wide, anterior edge wider; copulatory openings wide, located in anterior part of atrium, spaced by more than their width; spermathecae S-shaped, about 6 times longer than wide, anterior part wider than posterior, spaced by one diameter posteriorly, by more than one diameter anteriorly; basal lobes inserted ventrally in posterior part of spermathecae; copulatory ducts as wide as anterior part of spermathecae, short, about half length of spermathecae.

Natural history.T. camarapisp. nov. represents the first record of the genus for the Amazon, where the climate is equatorial, always hot and wet, and different from the localities where the other species were collected. However, the occurrence of this species in a savanna environment (Figs 2A, B) may indicate a preference for drier habitats.

Distribution. Known only from Pará, Brazil (Fig. 2C).
