Figures 495–504

TYPE: Female holotype taken by beating/ sweeping/siftingshrubs at an elevationof 191 m about 2 km in on the S3 trail to Spring Bay, 17.6333 ° N, 63.224 ° W, Saba Island, Netherlands Antilles (Mar. 10, 2008; J. Slowik), deposited in UAM (15560 PBI_OON 40815) .

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

DIAGNOSIS: Females can be recognized by the wide, triangular posterior receptaculum (figs. 503, 504).

MALE: Unknown.

FEMALE (PBI_OON 40815, figs. 495– 504): Total length 1.69. Elevated portion of pars cephalica reticulate, posterior eye row straight from above, procurved from front. Posterior receptaculum triangular, about as long as anterior projection (figs. 503, 504).

OTHER MATERIAL EXAMINED: None.

DISTRIBUTION: Netherlands Antilles ( Saba Island)

Stenoonops scabriculus Simon

Figures 505–531

Stenoonops scabriculus Simon, 1891: 565 (two male syntypes from St. Vincent, in BMNH; examined). – Chickering, 1969: 18, figs. 47, 48.

DIAGNOSIS: Males and females have not been collected together, but we have found no characters suggesting that the Guadeloupe

female is not conspecific with the males from St. Vincent and the Venezuelan mainland. Males can be recognized by the relatively short, stubby embolus, the distal half of which is curved dorsally (figs. 514–517), females by the basally expanded anterior genitalic projection and rectangular anterior genitalic margins (figs. 530, 531).

MALE (PBI_OON 40816, figs. 505–521): Total length 1.51. Elevated portion of pars cephalica finely reticulate; posterior eye row straight from above, procurved from front. Endites with long, oblique, longitudinal ridge. Embolus short, bent dorsally at about half its length (figs. 514–517).

FEMALE (PBI_OON 27522, figs. 522– 531): Total length 1.77. Anterior genitalic projection twice as wide posteriorly as anteriorly (figs. 530, 531).

MATERIAL EXAMINED: GUADELOUPE: Porte d’Enfer, June 3, 1978 ( MNHN PBI_ OON 27522), 1♀. ST. VINCENT: no specific locality ( BMNH PBI_OON 40816), 23 (syntypes). VENEZUELA: Carabobo: San Esteban (E. Simon, MNHN 5623, PBI_OON 4474), 13.

VARIATION: We have detected no significant genitalic differences in the male from Venezuela (figs. 512, 513, 518–521) that was assigned to this species by Simon.

DISTRIBUTION: Lesser Antilles ( Guadeloupe, St. Vincent) and northern Venezuela.
