TYPES: Male holotype taken in a Berlese sample in the Parque Nacional Manuel Antonio, Puntarenas, Costa Rica (June 20, 1976; C. Goodnight), deposited in AMNH ( PBI _OON 29648) .

DIAGNOSIS: Males and females have not been collected together, but are here matched because both have reduced eyes (figs. 302, 312). Males have a basally twisted embolus (fig. 306), and females have a very wide epigynal atrium (figs. 314–317).

MALE (PBI_OON 29648, figs. 298–307). Total length 1.32. Carapace sides with obvious granulations; eyes reduced, tiny (PME oval; posterior eye row straight from above; ALE separated by their radius to diameter, PME touching, PLE-PME touching). Sternum surface finely reticulate. Endites with spiniform anteromedian tip. Abdomen unpatterned, epigastric scutum with small, curved ridge above pedicel, scuta otherwise smooth. Palpal femur slightly enlarged embolus short, basally twisted.

FEMALE (PBI_OON 10161, figs. 308–317). Total length 1.47. Endites unmodified. Epigynal atrium widely oval with large, rounded anterior sclerite; apodemes long, posteriorly directed.
