Ninetis sp. 1 : Huber, 1998d: 42, fig. 3j.

TYPES: Male holotype, 13 6♀ paratypes from Petorca : Los Molles, Valparaiso, Chile ; km 188, Rt. 5 (32°14'S, 71°30'W), 10 m elev., Nov. 13, 1993 (N. I. Platnick, K. Catley, M. Ramirez, R. T. Allen), in AMNH GoogleMaps .

ETYMOLOGY: Named for the type locality. The specific name is a noun in apposition.

DIAGNOSIS: Distinguished from A. platnicki and A. ramirezi by the straight, thin and weakly pigmented tip of the procursus (figs. 410 411); from other congeners also by the three tiny frontal cones on the male chelicerae (cf. fig. 400).

MALE (holotype): Total length 1.23, carapace width 0.57; leg 1: 4.07 (1.13+0.19 +1.11+1.16+0.48), tibia 2: 0.84, tibia 3: 0.68, tibia 4: 1.03; tibia 1 l/d: 17. Habitus as in A. platnicki (cf. fig. 395); distance PME- ALE about 40% of PME diameter. Entire prosoma and legs ochre-yellow; legs without rings; chelicerae and palps in general as in A. platnicki , only procursus significantly different, with weak proximal apophysis and straight, thin and weakly pigmented tip (figs. 410 411); legs without spines, without curved and vertical hairs; retrolateral trichobothrium of tibia 1 at 56%; tarsus 1 with ~ 7 8 pseudosegments. Opisthosoma monochromous ochre-gray.

VARIATION: Tibia 1 in 8 males (type locality): 1.10 1.23 (x¯ = 1.17). Some males have some faint darker spots dorsally on the opisthosoma.

FEMALE (type locality): Tibia 1 (N = 15) 0.97 1.16 (x¯ = 1.08). In general very similar to male. Epigynum ochre-yellow to light brown, as in fig. 412; dorsal view as in fig. 413.

DISTRIBUTION: Known only from type locality.

MATERIAL EXAMINED: CHILE: Valparaiso: Petorca: Los Molles : types above ; same locality (N. I. Platnick, K. Catley, M. Ramirez, R. T. Allen, R. Calderón), Nov. 9 13, 1993, and Jan. 27, 1994 (several vials), 83 14♀ 15 juveniles in AMNH .

Aucana paposo , new species Figures 414 417

TYPE: Male holotype from 6 km E Paposo , Antofagasta, Chile ; 480 m elev., Oct. 12, 1992 (N. I. Platnick, K. Catley, P. Goloboff), in AMNH .

ETYMOLOGY: Named for the town close to the type locality. The specific name is a noun in apposition.

DIAGNOSIS: Distinguished from A. platnicki , ramirezi , and petorca by the simple, ribbon-shaped procursus (figs. 416 417), the single, distinctive apophysis of the bulb (fig. 414), and the relatively larger proximal pair of apophyses on the male chelicerae (fig. 415).

MALE (holotype): Total length ~ 1.05 (prosoma damaged), carapace width ~ 0.48; all legs missing. Habitus as in A. platnicki (cf. fig. 395). Entire prosoma light brown, opisthosoma greenish-gray with darker spots dorsally; procursus, bulb and chelicerae as in figs. 414 417.

FEMALE: Unknown.

DISTRIBUTION: Known only from type locality.

MATERIAL EXAMINED: CHILE: Antofagasta: 6 km E Paposo: type above.
