Treatment

Reductoonops sasaima , new species ( figs. 324, 325, 327–340)

TYPES: Male holotype, male paratype, female allotype, and two female paratypes taken under damp leaf mold at Finca Bella Vista, near Sasaima, Cundinamarca, Colombia ( May 5, 1965; P. Craig), deposited in CAS (PBI_ OON 35777 View Materials ) .

DIAGNOSIS: Males can be recognized by the enlarged, anteroventrally directed lobe at the tip of the endites ( figs. 328, 329) and the 180° bend at the base of the embolus ( figs. 335–338); females resemble those of R. leticia in having a basally enlarged, triangular anterior genital process, but its tip has shorter lateral projections than in that species ( figs. 339, 340).

MALE (PBI_ OON 35777 View Materials , figs. 324, 327–338): Total length 0.92. Surface of elevated portion of pars cephalica smooth. Eyes two; ALE touching. Sternum with anterior channels, surface smooth, without pits, microsculpture absent; setae densest laterally. Labium anterior margin deeply incised. Endite tip with enlarged, anteroventrally directed lobe. Base of embolus making 180° turn; cymbium not fused with bulb.

FEMALE (PBI_ OON 35777 View Materials , figs. 325, 339, 340): Total length 1.17. Labium anterior margin indented at middle. Anterior genitalic process enlarged, basally widened, triangular, tip with short lateral projections, dorsal surface apparently with several glandular ducts.
