Reductoonops napo View in CoL , new species ( figs. 453–468 View FIGURES 452–463. 452 View FIGURES 464–473. 464–468 )

TYPE: Male holotype taken at an elevation of 1005 m in the Parque Nacional Napo-Galeras , 00°44′00″S, 77°28′07″W, Napo, Ecuador (Nov. 27, 2009; Niarchos Exped. ), deposited in QCAZ (PBI_OON 51323) GoogleMaps .

DIAGNOSIS: Males and females have not been taken together and are only tentatively matched here, but they show similarly odd and seemingly autapomorphic genitalic characters. Males can easily be recognized by the lobate palpal apophysis ( figs. 460–463 View FIGURES 452–463. 452 ), females by the sharply pointed cap on the tip of the anterior genitalic process ( figs. 467, 468 View FIGURES 464–473. 464–468 ).

MALE (PBI_OON 51323, figs. 453–464 View FIGURES 452–463. 452 View FIGURES 464–473. 464–468 ): Total length 1.07. Surface of elevated portion of pars cephalica smooth. Eyes two; ALE touching. Sternum with anterior channels, surface smooth, without pits, microsculpture absent; setae densest laterally. Labium anterior margin indented at middle. Endite tip with sharply pointed, diagonally directed projection. Palpal apophysis lobate, embolus and conductor apparently fused; cymbium not fused with bulb.

FEMALE (PBI_OON 51325, figs. 465–468 View FIGURES 464–473. 464–468 ): Total length 0.90. Anterior genitalic process relatively wide, tip rounded, with sharply pointed lateral extensions.
