Reductoonops niltepec , new species ( figs. 141–160)

TYPES: Male holotype and male paratype taken 2 miles southeast of Niltepec, 16°32′N, 94°33′W, Oaxaca, Mexico (Aug. 16, 1966; J., W. Ivie), deposited in AMNH (PBI_ OON 37321 ) .

DIAGNOSIS: Members of this species resemble those of R. chamela and R. armeria in retaining the four posterior eyes. Males differ from those of R.armeria in having a much longer base subtending both the embolus and conductor, and from those of R. chamela in having that base wider ( figs. 157–160). Females differ from those of R. chamela and R. armeria in having the posterior portion of the anterior genitalic process wider proximally than distally ( figs. 144, 145).

MALE (PBI_ OON 37321 , figs. 141, 146–160): Total length 1.03. 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 squared, anteromedially directed lobe. Embolus and conductor originating from long, wide common base; cymbium not fused with bulb.

FEMALE (PBI_ OON 21105 , figs. 142–145): Total length 1.15. Anterior genitalic process with long posterior portion wider posteriorly than anteriorly, short anterior portion greatly widened.
