Stenoonops luquillo View in CoL , new species Figures 329–351

TYPE: Male holotype taken at an elevation of 3000 ft in the Luquillo Mountains, Puerto Rico (1944; H. Beatty), deposited in MCZ (68341, PBI_OON 26492) .

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

DIAGNOSIS: Males can be recognized by distally indented prolateral embolar process (figs. 336–341), females by the extensive pore field capping the anterior receptaculum (figs. 350, 351).

MALE (PBI_OON 26492, figs. 329–341): Total length 1.75. Elevated portion of pars cephalica reticulate; posterior eye row straight from above, procurved from front. Endites with long, oblique, longitudinal ridge. Embolus directed distally, prolateral

process with indented tip, retrolateral process sinuous (figs. 336–341).

FEMALE (PBI_OON 21072, figs. 342– 351): Total length 1.96. Anterior receptaculum with rounded, anterior pore plate, posterior receptaculum with crinkled posterior margin (figs. 350, 351).

OTHER MATERIAL EXAMINED: PUERTO RICO: Cabeza de Perro Island, Jan. 16, 1965 (H. Heatwole, F. McKenzie, AMNH PBI_OON 21072), 1♀.

Stenoonops pretiosus (Bryant) , new combination Figures 352–390, 397–430

Oonopinus pretiosus Bryant, 1942: 322 , figs. 2, 9 (male holotype and female allotype from St. Croix , Virgin Islands, in MCZ; examined).

DIAGNOSIS: Males resemble those of S. luquillo but have a smaller and simpler embolus (figs. 359–364); females also resemble those of S. luquillo but have a differently shaped posterior receptaculum (figs. 405, 406).

MALE (PBI_OON 27355, figs. 352–390): Total length 1.89. Elevated portion of pars cephalica finely reticulate; posterior eye row straight from above, procurved from front. Endites with strong, toothlike projection (but serrula still present). Embolus short, tubular, with retrolateral opening (figs. 359–364, 388– 390).

FEMALE (PBI_OON 27357, figs. 397– 430): Total length 1.93. Anterior receptaculum with rounded anterior poreplate, posterior receptaculum diamond shaped (figs. 405, 406, 417–420).
