Ponsoonops micans (Simon, 1893) View in CoL , new combination

Figures 424–429 View FIGURES 415–429

Telchius micans Simon, 1893: 446 (one female and four probably juvenile syntypes from Colonia Tovar , Aragua, Venezuela, in MNHN; examined).

Dysderoides micans, Fage, 1946: 384 View in CoL , figs. 1d, e.

DIAGNOSIS: Females can easily be separated from all other Ponsoonops females by having a very narrow and long-stalked anterior genitalic process, and a pocketlike posterior genitalic process, that is two times wider than long (fig. 429).

MALE: Unknown.

FEMALE (PBI_OON 49229, figs. 424–429): Total length 1.93. Clypeus low, ALE separated from edge of carapace by less than their radius. Small lateral sclerites at epigastric sctutum absent (or not detectable). Leg spination: tibiae: I v4-2-2; II v4-2-1p; metatarsi I, II p1-0-0, v2-2-2. Large genital plate moderately W-shaped, median protruding part as long as wide; anterior genitalic process very narrowly long stalked with distinctly enlarged apex; posterior genitalic process two times wider than long, pocketlike, without remarkable duct, weakly sclerotized.

OTHER MATERIAL EXAMINED: Only the syntypes ( MNHN 1506 About MNHN , PBI_OON 49229) .

DISTRIBUTION: Venezuela (Aragua).
