TYPES: Male holotype and female paratype from Mexico: Coatzacoalcos (west side), Veracruz (18.15000°, -94.43333°), Aug. 11, 1966, J.W. Ivie, deposited in AMNH, PBI_OON 1085.

ETYMOLOGY: A noun in apposition; chaparrita is a word normally used in Mexico to kindly refer to a short-statured woman and is used in this case to illustrate the small size of these spiders in general.

DIAGNOSIS: Males resemble those of the other species from Panama by the general shape of the copulatory bulb but can be separated by subtle differences of embolus and the course of the sperm duct (fig. 42A, B), while females are distinguished by the shape of the anterior receptaculum with long lateral apodemes and the shape and location of the internal pockets (figs. 39B, 44B).

MALE (PBI_OON 1085): Total length 0.94. Habitus as in figure 24A–C. CEPHALOTHO- RAX: Carapace orange. Labium rectangular.

ABDOMEN: Pale white. GENITALIA: Embolus short, dark; sperm duct coiled, with several loops (figs. 36A–C, 42A–B).

FEMALE (PBI_OON 1085): Total length 1.37. Habitus as in figure 24D–F. GENITALIA: Internal pockets present, directed to median line; anterior receptaculum with long lateral apodemes; posterior receptaculum absent (figs. 39B, 44B).

DISTRIBUTION: Known only from the type locality in Mexico (Veracruz, map 2).
