Scaphiella bonda View in CoL , new species Figures 570–588; map 1

TYPES: Male holotype and female allotype taken in pitfall trap in dry zone at Villa Culebra , near Bonda, ca. 10 km east of Santa Marta, Magdalena, Colombia (Nov.–Dec. 1985; H. Müller), deposited in MHNG ( PBI _OON 15480) .

DIAGNOSIS: The male palp has a slightly enlarged femur (fig. 579) and a long, narrow embolus that is bent laterally much nearer the base than typical, at about one-fourth its length (fig. 578); the female epigynum has a very short anterior sclerite and a distinctive pair of medially directed extensions on the lateral margins (figs. 586–588).

MALE (PBI_OON 15480, figs. 570–579). Total length 1.44. Carapace smooth. Sternum smooth. Endites with spiniform anteromedian tip. Abdomen unpatterned, smooth. Palpal femur moderately enlarged; embolus long, gradually narrowing apically.

FEMALE (PBI_OON 15480, figs. 580–588). Total length 1.45. Epigynal atrium circular, with small anterior sclerite and paired poste-

rior sclerotizations; apodemes short, posterolaterally directed.

OTHER MATERIAL EXAMINED: One male taken with the types.
