Treatment

Reductoonops bayano , new species ( figs. 279–289 View FIGURES 279–289 )

Stenoonops canita (misidentification): Platnick and Dupérré, 2010a: 31, figs. 185–194 View FIGURES 176–188. 176–183 View FIGURES 189–198. 189–196 only (female only).

NOTE: When Stenoonops canita was described by Platnick and Dupérré (2010a), those authors indicated that the single known female, which has six eyes, was not collected with the male holotype, that males and females differ in sternal morphology, and that they were tentatively matched only on the basis of geography. Subsequent study has shown that although the male holotype of S. canita has the normal complement of six spinnerets, the female has only four, and also has a bipartite anterior genitalic process closely resembling those of the Mexican six-eyed species described above. We therefore here place that female in Reductoonops rather than Stenoonops .

TYPE: Female holotype from the upper Río Majé, Bayano region, Panamá, Panama (June 18, 1976; L. Kirkendall), deposited in AMNH (PBI_ OON 21102 View Materials ) .

DIAGNOSIS: ffle female resembles that of R. chamela , but the anterior genitalic process is wider posteriorly than in that species ( figs. 288, 289 View FIGURES 279–289 ).

MALE: Unknown.

FEMALE (PBI_ OON 21102 View Materials , figs. 279–289 View FIGURES 279–289 ): Total length 1.23. Surface of elevated portion of pars cephalica finely reticulate. Eyes six; ALE touching. Sternum without lateral channels, surface finely reticulate, microsculpture only at sides; setae densest laterally. Labium anterior margin indented at middle. Anterior genitalic projection clearly divided into longer proximal and short, rounded distal portions.

OTHER MATERIAL EXAMINED: None.

DISTRIBUTION: Panama ( Panamá).
