Ponsoonops mirante , new species

Figures 187–198

TYPES: Male holotype and one male paratype from a Berlese sample of floor litter taken at Almirante, Bocas del Toro, Panama (Mar. 27, 1959, H.S. Dybas), deposited in FMNH (PBI_ OON 10400 ) .

ETYMOLOGY: The specific name is a noun in apposition taken from the shortened name of the type locality.

DIAGNOSIS: Males resemble those of the sanvito group in having a distinct ventral slit at the embolus (figs. 196, 197). They differ from all those species, except P. lucha and P. sanvito , in lacking a median protrusion at the embolus (fig. 328). They differ from those of P.lucha by the well-separated embolus and conductor, and from those of P. sanvito in having a broadly rounded conductor tip (rather than sharply pointed).

MALE (PBI_ OON 10400 , figs. 187–198): Total length 1.06. Leg spination: tibiae: I v4-2-2; II v4-2-1p; IV p0-1-0; v0-0-2, r1-1-0; metatarsi: I, II v2-2-2; IV p0-1-0, r0-1-0. Sperm pore oval. Cymbial cone not detected. Tarsal organ on palpal cymbium with distal receptor appearing bifid.
