Stenoonops tayrona View in CoL , new species Figures 195–221

TYPES: Male holotype and female allotype taken in Tayrona-Park, ca. 35 km E of Santa Marta, Magdalena, Colombia (Apr. 1986; H. Müller), deposited in MHNG (PBI_OON 339) .

ETYMOLOGY: The specific name is a noun in apposition taken from the type locality.

DIAGNOSIS: Males can be recognized by the long ventral embolar process, which extends obliquely away from the complex dorsal embolar elements (figs. 202–211), females by the short, rounded anterior genitalic projection (figs. 220, 221).

MALE (PBI_OON 339, figs. 195–211): Total length 1.02. Elevated portion of pars cephalica finely reticulate; posterior eye row straight from above, procurved from front. Endites with long, oblique, longitudinal ridge. Embolus with long ventral portion extending obliquely from more dorsal elements (figs. 202–211).

FEMALE (PBI_OON 339, figs. 212–221): Total length 1.17. Anterior genitalic projection very short, distally rounded (figs. 220, 221).

OTHER MATERIAL EXAMINED: COLOM- BIA: Magdalena: Tayrona-Park, ca. 35 km E Santa Marta, April 1986 (H. Müller, MHNG PBI_OON 339), 1♀. VENEZUELA: Aragua: Rancho Grande, 15 km N Maracay, Feb. 19– 27, 1971, Berlese, forest litter, elev. 1000– 1400 m (S., J. Peck, FMNH PBI_OON 38343) 13.

VARIATION: The single male known from Venezuela (figs. 208–211) appears to be conspecific with the types, despite the substantial geographic separation.

DISTRIBUTION: Colombia and Venezuela.
