Diagnosis. Males resemble similar congener Nops jaragua n. sp. ( Fig. 26B‒C View FIGURE 26 ) by having short and curved embolus, but can be distinguished by having the embolus tip shorter and beveled with sclerotized margin ( Fig. 24B‒C View FIGURE 24 ). Females can be distinguished by receptaculum with wide invagination and uterus externus with narrow base ( Fig. 24F View FIGURE 24 ).

Description. Male and female described by Sánchez‒Ruiz et al. (2015).

Distribution. Hispaniola Island ( Fig. 25A View FIGURE 25 ).
