LIBITIOIDES ROEWER, 1912 View in CoL NOM. REST. TRANSL. NOV.

Libitioides Roewer, 1912: 14 View in CoL [junior subjective synonym of Vonones Simon, 1879 View in CoL by Goodnight & Goodnight (1953: 60); synonymy rejected here].

Type-species by original designation: Libitioides ornata Roewer, 1912 View in CoL (non Gonyleptes ornatum Say, 1821 ).

Comment. The genus Libitioides is herewith revalidated from the synonymy of Vonones Simon, 1879 . There is an ongoing study on this genus (Kury & Medrano, in prep.) and detailed explanations and further combinations and synonymies will be given therein. For now, we may consider that there are at least five species from the United States, Mexico and Cuba, three of which make part of the present analysis.

Diagnosis. Constriction of scutal groove well marked in lateral view. Coxa IV in both sexes entirely covered by DS in dorsal view (except the apical region), parallel with the main body axis, armed with well-marked prodorso-apical apophysis. Leg I with five tarsomeres. Chevron and omega-stripe present (both rudimentary or absent in some specimens of Libitioides sayi ( Simon, 1879) comb. rest. ). MS-A1 much reduced. Wattle extending from the middle to the tip of stylus; stylar barbs reaching dorsal margins of stylus.
