Etymology. The species is named in honor of the Colombian botanist Hermes Cuadros Villalobos for his contribution to the study of the tropical dry forests in the Colombian Caribbean.
Type material. Holotype (ICN-AO-1729), adult male preserved in 70% ethanol, penis in a microvial: Colombia, Bolívar Department, Municipality of San Jacinto, Corregimiento Las Flechas (9° 50’ 59.48”N; 75° 10’ 0.83”W; 500 m elevation), March 2015, C. Pinzón M. leg. Paratypes: 3 ♂ and 7 ♀ (ICN-AO-1730; ICN-AO-1731) and 2 ♂ and 7 ♀ (MZSP 73850), same data as the holotype; 2 ♂ and 6 ♀ (ICN-AO-1732), same locality, 15 September 2015, C. Pinzón M. leg.; 1 ♂ and 2 ♀ (ICN-AO-1728), Colombia, Atlántico Department, Juan de Acosta, Reserva Campesina La Montaña (10° 46’ 2.6”N; 75° 0.2’ 34”W; 250 m elevation), January 2016, C. Pinzón M. leg.
Diagnosis. Ocularium with all tubercles colored, dorsal scutum area I, II and IV with bright yellow tubercles. Free tergites with one pair of bright yellow tubercles. Lateral margins have tubercles with the same color as dorsal scutum, with a white patch near posterior margin (similar to those of Q. bimaculata). Anterior margin tubercles white. Male: distal metatarsus I swollen. Penis with three pairs of MS-E directed ventrally.
Comparisons. It is most similar to Q. bella, Q. bimaculata Roewer, 1932, Q. discolor sp.nov., and Q. marginata, due to the lack of enlarged tubercles on the posterior lateral margins of dorsal scutum. It differs from Q. bimaculata in having white tubercles on the ocularium, on abdominal areas I, II and IV, and on free tergites II and III; from Q. bella by the absence of a cluster of six white tubercles on the posterior lateral margin of the dorsal scutum; from Q. marginata by the absence of a white stripe on the posterior margin of the dorsal scutum; and from Q. discolor sp.nov. in having white tubercles on all abdominal areas and by the absence of a white patch on the posterior half of the prosoma.
