Stenoonops macabus Chickering View in CoL Figures 303–315

Stenoonops macabus Chickering, 1969: 13 View in CoL , figs. 29, 30 (male holotype from 3 miles east of May Pen, St. Catherine Par., Jamaica, in MCZ, examined).

DIAGNOSIS: Males can easily be recognized by their distinctive embolus, which is longer than the bulb (figs. 310–315). Although they resemble the females of S. dimotus and S. mandeville in having a recurved posterior eye row (fig. 307), differences in the shape and coloration of the femora suggest that S. macabus is not the male of either of those species.

MALE (PBI_OON 432, figs. 303–315): Total length 1.78. Elevated portion of pars cephalica finely reticulate; posterior eye row recurved from above, straight from front. Endites elongated, extending far beyond labium. Embolus elongate, longer than bulb, tip directed medially (figs. 310–315).

FEMALE: Unknown.

MATERIAL EXAMINED: JAMAICA: St. Catherine: 3 mi E May Pen, Nov. 22, 1957 (A. Chickering, MCZ 21916, PBI_OON 432), 13 (holotype).

DISTRIBUTION: Jamaica.
