Noegus sombrerovueltiao Suárez-Martínez & Bedoya-Roqueme sp. nov.

Etymology. The specific epithet “sombrerovueltiao” is in homage to the “Sombrero Vueltiao”, a piece of clothing (hat) autochthonous of the region where the specimens were collected, whose design of lines turning around is similar to the turns that the embolus makes around the pedipalp of the male.
