Remarks. The genus currently includes 25 species, mostly recorded in Central America ( World Spider Catalog 2023). The genus was established based on the type species Oonops spinimanus from St. Vincent ( Simon 1892). Species of the genus completely lack scutum on the abdomen and are characterized by pale yellow or yellowish orange bodies, well-spined and elongated pedipalps in females, and the presence of one or two backward-pointing projections on the male palp ( Platnick & Dupérré 2009).
