Note.
Decaphora ambigua
comb. nov.
is known solely from a juvenile specimen. Nevertheless, the original description mentions characters that are congruent with those of
Decaphora
, especially the presence of six small teeth on the retromargin of the chelicerae. All other Neotropical
Sparianthinae
genera have only two small teeth on the retromargin. In addition, the
type
locality of
D. ambigua
falls within the distribution range of
Decaphora
, known from southern Florida to
Costa Rica
, with one species occurring in western
Colombia
.
