Etymology. The species epithet is a noun in apposition taken from the type locality.
Diagnosis. Males of G. caparu can be distinguished from all other Glenognatha species by the presence of small sharpened projections on the conductor lamina (Figs. 69C, 71H). Females resemble those of G. mendezi and G. lacteovittata in having a conspicuously enlarged Ret1 (Fig. 68C). They are distinguished from the former in having numerous gland ducts on the spermathecae (Figs. 70C–D) and from the latter in having well-developed spermathecae (Figs. 70C–D).
Male (holotype). Habitus as in Figures 67 A –D. Carapace yellow-brownish, darker along furrows. Sternum dark brown, with dusky bands oriented towards the median region. Abdomen spherical, dorsally with irregular pattern of two longitudinal black bands on sides and some dark patches on the postero-median region. Silver guanine spots scattered in the entire dorsal surface and the median lateral surfaces. Venter with a diffused dusky median band, darker around epigastric furrow and two lighter lateral bands with some silver guanine spots. Legs light yellow-brownish with distal parts of segments darker. Tracheal spiracle well-sclerotized. Total length 2.62. Cephalothorax 1.17 long, 0.85 wide, 0.62 high. Abdomen 1.60 long, 1.15 wide, 1.15 high. Sternum 0.52 long, 0.53 wide.
