Females very similar to those of known congeners; internally with simple median modifications (Figs 73C, 74F; complex in <i>S. igapora</i>; <i>S. sagarana</i> gen. et sp. nov.; <i>S. lapa</i> gen. et sp. nov.), with large but very indistinct transparent sac.</p><p><b>Etymology</b></p><p>The species name is derived from Bumba-meu-boi (Bumba-boi, Boi-bumbá, etc.), a popular and comicdramatic dance widespread in Brazil but particularly famous in Maranhão; noun in apposition.</p><p><b>Type material</b></p><p><b>Holotype</b></p><p>BRAZIL – <b>Maranhão</b> • ♂; Parque Nacional da Chapada das Mesas, ‘site 1’; 7.155° S, 47.392° W; 300–320 m a.s.l.; 16 Dec. 2022; L.S.

Total body length 1.24, carapace width 0.50. Distance PME–PME 50 µm; diameter PME 40 µm; distance PME–ALE 20 µm; distance AME–AME 15 µm; diameter AME 35 µm. Leg 1: 2.65 (0.71+ 0.18 + 0.69+ 0.71 + 0.36), tibia 2: 0.64, tibia 3: 0.64, tibia 4: 0.98; tibia 1 L/d: 12; diameters of leg femora 100–110 µm, of leg tibiae 60 µm.</p><p>COLOR (in ethanol). Prosoma and legs pale ochre-yellow, carapace and legs without darker marks or rings; abdomen gray, with darker gray internal marks, ventrally with dark ochre plate in front of gonopore.</p><p>BODY. Habitus similar to congeners (cf. Fig. 48). Ocular area barely raised. Carapace without thoracic groove. Clypeus unmodified. Sternum slightly wider than long (0.38/0.32), without anterior processes. Abdomen globular.</p><p>CHELICERAE. As in Fig. 73A–B; with pair of long frontal apophyses in proximal position, distance between tips 115 µm; with stridulatory files (poorly visible in dissecting microscope).</p><p>PALPS. As in Fig. 71; coxa unmodified; trochanter ventrally barely protruding; femur without proximal protrusion or process, distally slightly widened but otherwise unmodified; femur-patella condyles slightly shifted toward prolateral side; tibia-tarsus condyles slightly shifted toward retrolateral side; tarsus with strong dorsal hairs, without prolateral process; procursus (Fig. 72A–C) very simple, proximally light and with transparent dorsal flap, distally thin and sclerotized (dark); genital bulb (Fig. 72D–F) distally complex, with two ventral processes (vp1 and vp 2 in Fig. 72E) and two dorsal processes (dp1 and dp 2 in Fig. 72D–E); location of sperm duct opening presumably on membranous element of ‘dp2’.</p><p>LEGS. Without spines, without curved hairs; with short vertical hairs on tibia 1; retrolateral trichobothrium of tibia 1 at 59%; prolateral trichobothrium absent on tibia 1; tarsus 1 with 4–5 pseudosegments, distally fairly distinct.</p><p><b>Variation (males)</b></p><p>Tibia 1 in 66 males: 0.61–0.73 (mean 0.67).</p><p><b>Females</b></p><p>In general, similar to males; chelicerae apparently without stridulatory files (not confirmed with SEM); tibia 1 without short vertical hairs. Tibia 1 in 20 females: 0.62–0.70 (mean 0.67). Epigynum (Fig. 74A– C) anterior plate semicircular, weakly protruding, medially often slightly darker than laterally; posterior plate wide but short, simple; internal transversal sclerite often visible in uncleared females between anterior and posterior epigynal plates. Internal genitalia (Figs 73C, 74D–F) with transversal sclerite mostly very simple except medially; with large but very indistinct anterior membranous sac; apparently without pore plates.</p><p><b>Distribution</b></p><p>Known from a few neighboring localities (within 7 km) in western Maranhão, Brazil (Fig. 57).</p><p><b>Natural history</b></p><p>A total of 435 specimens were collected at the type locality, including 384 males (88%) and 51 females (12%). Sampling was conducted using pitfall traps placed in Cerrado s. str. vegetation on sandy soils. The strong male bias is likely a result of the sampling method, as pitfall traps tend to be more efficient for capturing the more mobile males that actively search for females (Uetz & Unzicker 1976; Churchill 1993; Álvares <i>et al.</i> 2004). In contrast, hand-collecting Ninetinae generally yields a female bias (e.g., ~60– 70% females in the five species treated herein that were exclusively collected by hand and represented by more than 50 specimens each: <i>K. maracas</i> sp. nov.; <i>K. brumado</i> sp. nov.; <i>K. itacarambi</i> sp. nov.; <i>K. ibo</i> sp. nov.; <i>S. igapora</i> gen. et sp. nov.). Pitfall traps were arranged in 4×4 grids with three intertrap spacings – 1 m, 10 m, and 20 m – with nine replicates for each spacing (L.S. Carvalho <i>et al.</i> 2026). Nearly half of the specimens (n = 217; mean per replicate = 24.1 ±19.5) were collected in the widestspaced grids (20 m), while 26% (n = 115; mean = 12.8 ±13.5) and 24% (n = 103; mean = 11.4 ±8.25) were captured in the 1 m and 10 m grids, respectively. A generalized linear model with a negative binomial error distribution detected no significant effect of trap spacing on total specimen abundance when compared to a null model (likelihood-ratio test: χ² = 3.51, df = 2, p = 0.173). Additionally, sampling conducted at twelve gallery forest sites yielded only one specimen of this species out of 1474 specimens collected using pitfall traps, suggesting an association with open environments (de Paula <i>et al</i>. 2026).</p>
