Diagnosis[]
Area II posterior border not invading space of area III (what occurs in the other Discocyrtanus). Tr IV of ♂ distal apophysis prodorsal like a hook. Fe IV dorsal proximal with 9 spines (iIiIiIiii), different than D. goyazius which has all tiny spines and D. oliverioi comb. nov. and D. tocantinensis sp. nov. that do not have spines in this area. Fe IV proventral medial-distal row of 14 spines, the last 5 spatulate with acuminate extremity (different from the rounded found in D. oliverioi comb. nov. and D. tocantinensis sp. nov.).[1]
