A new Trachyzelotes spider species, Trachyzelotes minutus n. sp. is described. The new species likely belongs to the “barbatus group”, based on the rounded embolus base and terminal apophysis, as well as the anterolaterally expanded copulatory ducts. Trachyzelotes minutus may be a sister species of T. fuscipes, given the similarities of the embolus and terminal apophysis.
