Map 1

Hexapopha jimenez Platnick, Berniker & Víquez, 2014: 12 , figs 87–95 (Female holotype from 13 km SSW of Puerto Jiménez , Puntarenas, Costa Rica, PBI_OON 38102, at MCZ, not examined); WSC 2021.

Diagnosis. Females resemble those of H. hone , H. reimoseri and H. osa by the internal copulatory opening, positioned under the epigastric plate ( Fig. 5D ; Platnick et al. 2014: figs 59–69, 85–86, 120–121) but can be distinguished from these species by the narrow postepigastric plate, nearly four times wider than long, and by the procurved arms of T-shaped genitalic process ( Platnick et al. 2014: figs 94–95).

Description. See Platnick et al. (2014): 12.

Distribution. Puntarenas, Costa Rica ( Map 1 ).
