Aschnaoonops simoni, new species

Figures 485, 486, 493–495

Dysderina principalis (misidentification): Simon, 1891: 557, 1893b: 441 (in part, one female from Venezuela only).

TYPE: Female holotype from Venezuela, without specific locality but presumably from one of the three localities in northern Venezuela specified by Simon (1893b: 441): Caracas (Distrito Capital), Corosal (Falco´ n), or San Esteban (Falco´ n), deposited in MNHN (10979, PBI_OON 917).

ETYMOLOGY: The specific name is a patronym in honor of the likely collector of the holotype.

DIAGNOSIS: Females resemble those of A. silvae but differ in the shape of the proximal sclerite at the base of the anterior genitalic process (fig. 495).

MALE: Unknown.

FEMALE (PBI_OON 917, figs. 485, 486, 493–495): Total length 2.16. ALE separated by less than their radius. Sternum surface coarsely reticulate, microsculpture everywhere but front. Dorsal scutum covering more than 3/4 of abdomen length, more than 1/2 to most of abdomen width, not fused to epigastric scutum. Postepigastric scutum almost semicircular, covering about 1/2 of abdomen length. Leg spination: femora I, II p0-0-2, r1-1-1; tibiae I, II v4-4-1p; metatarsi: I v2-2-0; II v2-0-2. Anterior genitalic process with club-shaped anterior expansion, basal sclerite large, elaborate.

OTHER MATERIAL EXAMINED: None.

DISTRIBUTION: Venezuela (presumably coastal portions of Falco´ n and/or the Distrito Capital).
