Oonops donaldi Chickering, 1951 a: 226 , figs. 14– 16. Male holotype from Panama: Colón: Canal Zone, Fort Davis , 26 m, 9.28555 °, - 79.90750 °, Aug. 04, 1936, A. Chickering ( MCZ 21113 PBI_OON 36849 ) ; male paratype from El Valle , July 01, 1936, A. Chickering ( MCZ 66753 PBI _ OON 36842). Deposited in MCZ, examined .

DIAGNOSIS: N. donaldi males are very similar to those of N. waorani by the general palpal morphology, but differ in having the embolar tip more strongly bent and the bulb less elongated, with a nearly rhomboidal outline (figs. 88C–D, 99B). Females differ by the long anterior receptacle with anterolateral, posteriorly directed projections, resembling an anchor (figs. 89H, 99A). Both sexes also differ by having strong macrosetae on femora I–II (figs. 88A, 89G).

DESCRIPTION: MALE (PBI_OON 42030). Total length 1.66. Cephalothorax: Carapace yellow, broadly oval in dorsal view, pars cephalica strongly elevated in lateral view, anteriorly narrowed to less than half their maximum width; lateral margin straight; nonmarginal pars cephalica setae absent (broken off as the bases are present); nonmarginal pars thoracica setae dark, needle-like; marginal setae dark, needlelike. Clypeus setae dark, needlelike. Eyes all subequal, ALE circular, PME circular, PLE oval; posterior eye row procurved from front; ALE separated by more than their diameter, ALE-PLE touching, PME touching throughout most of their length, PLE-PME separated by less than PME radius. Sternum longer than wide, yellowish white, anterior margin unmodified; setae sparse, evenly scattered (fig. 87E). Mouthparts: chelicerae, endites, and labium pale orange; cheliceral setae dark, densest medially. Endites distally not excavated, with an anteromedian small pointed structure (fig. 87E). Abdomen: Dorsum white. Book lung covers elliptical. Postepigastric scutum pale orange. Spinneret scutum absent. Dorsum setae absent, setae lost (its bases remain). Colulus represented only by setae. Legs: Pale orange; femur IV thickened, much larger than femora I–III (fig. 87C). Leg spination: leg I: femora d1-1-1, pv0-0-1-1-1, rv0-0-1-1-1, tibiae v2-2-2-2-2-0, metatarsi v2- 2-2-2; leg II: femora d1-1-1, pv0-0-1-1-1, rv0- 0-1-1-1, tibiae v2-2-2-2-2-0, metatarsi v2-2-2- 2; leg III: femora d1-1-1-1, tibiae d1, p1-1, r1- 1, v1-2ap, metatarsi d1-0-1, p1-1, r1-1, v1- 2ap; leg IV: femora d1-1-1-1, tibiae d1, p1-1, r1-1, v1-2ap, metatarsi d1-0-1, p1-1, r1-0-1, v1-2ap. Trichobothria not examined. Genitalia: Palp proximal segments pale orange; femur normal size, two or more times as long as trochanter; cymbium pale orange, ovoid in dorsal view, not fused with bulb; bulb pale orange, 1 to 1.5 times as long as cymbium, stout, tapering apically, distal part with conductor short, pointed, knife shaped; embolus dark, abruptly bent to ventral in the distal third (figs. 88B–D, 99B).

FEMALE (PBI_OON 42034). Total length 2.08. As in male except as noted. Cephalothorax: Carapace nonmarginal pars cephalica setae probably broken off (the bases remain). Sternum precoxal triangles present; setae dark. Labium elongated hexagon. Palp spines absent. Abdomen: Dorsum pale white. Dorsum setae setae broken off (the bases remain). Postepigastric area setae dark, needlelike. Legs: Patella plus tibia I nearly as long as carapace. Femur IV enlarged, but not as much as in male (fig. 89C). Leg spination: leg I: femora d1-1-1, pv0-0-1-1-1, rv0-0-1-1-1, tibiae v2-2-2-2-2-0, metatarsi v2-2-2-2; leg II: femora d1-1-1, pv0-0-1-1-1, rv0-0-1-1, tibiae v2-2-2-2-2-0, metatarsi v2-2-2-2; leg III: femora d1-1-1-1, tibiae r1-1, d1, p1-1, v1- 2ap, metatarsi d1-1, p1-1, r1-1, v1-2ap; leg IV: femora d1-1-1-1, tibiae d1-0, p1-1, r1-1, v1-2ap, metatarsi d1-0-1, p1-1, r1-0-1, v1- 2ap. Genitalia: Anterior receptacle anchor shaped (figs. 89H, 99A).
