Comments.

The subspecies Falsocis opacus flavus Pic, 1922 was based on a single female collected in Bas-Maroni (French Guyana, near Cayenne), and it is merely a teneral specimen of Falsocis opacus (J. F. Lawrence pers. obs.).The type of Falsocis opacus (MNHN) is 2.10mm long, rather than 3mm as mentioned in the description ( Pic 1916), but other measurements were not taken by the time it was examined. In the unique male Falsocis opacus measured by Lopes-Andrade (2007), TL is 3.05mm and TL/EW 1.91, not including the head.
