Etymology. The specific name means peanut in Portuguese and refers to a traditional festival (Festival do Amendoim) from Senador Guiomard, type locality of the species; noun in apposition.

Diagnosis. Females of G. amendoim sp. n. resemble those of G. alpahuayo sp. n. and G. manauara by the epigyne with MS bearing pair of epigynal pockets (Figs 4, 15, 77). They are distinguished in having the pockets separated and opening posteriorly (Figs 15, 24) (medially connected and opening anteriorly in the latter species). Males are unknown.
