Scaphiella lancetilla , new species Figures 182–200; map 10

TYPE: Male holotype taken by Winkler trap from sifted litter taken at an elevation of 190 m in a secondary lowland rainforest on the trail to Represa Vieja , 15.7262uN, 87.4514uW, Jardín Botanico , Lancetilla, Telá, Atlántida, Honduras (Jan. 10, 2008; C. Víquez, M. Branstetter), deposited in AMNH ( PBI _ OON 296 ) .

DIAGNOSIS: Both sexes have distinctively elongated and narrowed abdomens (figs. 182, 192), so much so that in the two known males, the sides of the dorsal scutum overlap the ventral scutum. Males have a greatly expanded palpal bulb and a heavily sclerotized embolus that is sharply narrowed subdistally (figs. 189–191); females have a long anterior epigynal sclerite that extends most of the length of the epigynal atrium (figs. 198–200).

MALE (PBI_OON 298, figs. 182–191). Total length 1.54. Carapace with sides of pars thoracica bearing obvious granulations reaching apex. Sternum smooth. Endites with short, spiniform anteromedian tip. Abdomen unpatterned, scuta smooth. Palpal femur greatly expanded; embolus short, narrow subdistally.

FEMALE (PBI_OON 297, figs. 192–200). Total length 1.55. Endites unmodified. Epi-

gynal atrium circular, with large, dark anterior sclerite reaching midway, then enlarging; apodemes short, thick.
