Reductoonops armeria, new species (figs. 121–140)

TYPES: Male holotype and male paratype from Las Humedades, Armería, Colima, Mexico (Jan. 19, 1943; F. Bonet), deposited in AMNH (PBI_OON 31161) .

DIAGNOSIS: Members of this species resemble those of R. chamela and R. niltepec in retaining the four posterior eyes. Males differ from those of R. chamela and R. niltepec in having a much shorter base subtending both the embolus and conductor (figs. 132–135). Females differ from those of R. chamela in having the posterior portion of the anterior genitalic process much longer, and from those of R. niltepec in having that portion of the process wider distally than proximally (figs. 139, 140).

MALE (PBI_OON 31161, figs. 121–136): Total length 1.02. Surface of elevated portion of pars cephalica finely reticulate. Eyes six; ALE touching. Sternum without anterior channels, surface finely reticulate, without pits, microsculpture only at sides; setae densest laterally. Labium anterior margin indented at middle. Endite tip with rounded, laterally directed lobe. Combined base of embolus and conductor short, conductor narrow, embolus sharply bent at three-fourths its length; cymbium not fused with bulb.

FEMALE (PBI_OON 37320, figs. 137–140): Total length 1.19. Anterior portion of anterior genitalic process subdistally expanded, planaria shaped.
