Figures 1–60
Xestaspis reimoseri Fage, 1938: 371 , figs. 1A–D (male holotype from Hamburg Farm , Limón, Costa Rica, should be in the Natural History Museum of Vienna, lost).
DIAGNOSIS: Males can be recognized by the small squared projection on the squared tip of the endites (fig. 9), females by the relatively long and narrow posterior genitalic plate (fig. 59) and the large, straight arms of the anterior genitalic process (fig. 60).
MALE (PBI_ OON 49619 View Materials , figs. 1–53): Total length 1.54. Labium with squared, narrow tip situated on slightly wider base; endites with squared tip followed posteriorly by obliquely set elevated projections. Conductor with gradually narrowed tip.
FEMALE (PBI_ OON 10125 View Materials , figs. 54–60): Total length 1.83. ALE separated by their radius to diameter. Dorsal scutum covering more than 3/4 of abdomen length, more than 1/2 to most of abdomen width. Postepigastric scutum covering about 3/4 of abdomen length. Anterior genitalic process with long, straight arms; posterior genitalic plate relatively long, narrow.
