Platnick, Norman I. & Berniker, Lily, 2014, ffle Neotropical goblin spiders of the new genus Reductoonops (Araneae, Oonopidae), American Museum Novitates 2014 (3811), pp. 1-75 : 69

Reductoonops otonga , new species ( figs. 415–434 )

TYPES: Male holotype, female allotype, and female paratype collected by hand from forest litter taken at an elevation of 855 m at Otongachi, 00°19′15″S, 78°57′06″W, Santo Domingo de Los Tsáchilas, Ecuador (Dec. 6, 2009; B. Baehr, Niarchos Exped. ), deposited in QCAZ (PBI_ OON 51322), plus female paratype, same data, deposited in AMNH (PBI_OON 49610) .

DIAGNOSIS: Males resemble those of R. yasuni but have an elevated ridge on the base of the embolus ( fig. 427 ); females resemble those of R. domingo , but the anterior genitalic process is relatively uniform in width throughout its length ( figs. 433, 434 ), rather than basally widened and subdistally narrowed.

MALE (PBI_OON 51322, figs. 415–429 ): Total length 1.20. Surface of elevated portion of pars cephalica smooth. Eyes two; ALE touching. Sternum with anterior channels, surface smooth, microsculpture absent; setae densest laterally. Labium anterior margin deeply incised. Endite tip with bipartite, medially directed lobe. Palpal apophysis straight, embolar base with elevated ridge; cymbium not fused with bulb.

FEMALE (PBI_OON 51322, figs. 430–434 ): Total length 1.11. Labium anterior margin indented at middle. Anterior genitalic process relatively uniform in width throughout most of its length, only slightly narrowed distally.

OTHER MATERIAL EXAMINED: None.

DISTRIBUTION: Ecuador (Santo Domingo de Los Tsáchilas).
