Reductoonops celica View in CoL , new species ( figs. 526–542 View FIGURES 526–537 View FIGURES 538–547. 538–542 )

TYPES: Male holotype, three male paratypes, female allotype, and two female paratypes taken at an elevation of 2100 m at Celica, 04.09896°S, 79.97994°W, Loja, Ecuador (Feb. 25, 2010; E. Tapia), deposited in QCAZ (PBI_OON 51328), plus three male and two female paratypes, same data, deposited in AMNH (PBI_OON 49607) GoogleMaps .

DIAGNOSIS: Males can be recognized by the prolaterally excavated palpal apophysis ( figs. 534–537 View FIGURES 526–537 ), females by the relatively short, thumb-shaped anterior genitalic process ( figs. 541, 542 View FIGURES 538–547. 538–542 ).

Eyes two; ALE separated by less than their radius. Sternum with anterior channels, surface smooth, without pits, microsculpture absent; setae densest laterally. Labium anterior margin indented at middle. Endite tip with large lobe bearing procurved ridges. Palpal apophysis prolaterally excavated; cymbium not fused with bulb.
