Three new species of Cymbiapophysa Gabriel & Sherwood, 2020 are described from
south, central, and north-western Ecuador, showing the wide range of distribution that
this genus has in Ecuador and its biogeographical provinces. These three new species
are easily differentiated from other congeners based on keel morphology of the male palpal
bulb. Supplementary information about the locality of C. magna Sherwood, Gabriel,
Brescovit & Lucas, 2021 is provided, alongside additional data on morphology and some
commentaries about the general distribution and biogeography of Cymbiapophysa.
Additionally, a taxonomic key for males of Cymbiapophysa species is presented, based
on the palpal bulb morphology.
