Anomalaia González-Sponga, 1998: 24 . Synonymized by Huber (2000).
Portena González-Sponga, 2011b: 42 (“ Porteña ”); type species: Portena triocular View in CoL González-Sponga, 2011b; new synonymy.
Justification of synonymy. Metagonia triocular View in CoL ( González-Sponga, 2011b) new combination. We have not examined González-Sponga’s specimens (1♂ 1♀ from Vargas State, Venezuela ). However, numerous characters visible in González-Sponga’s drawings clearly support the assignment of this species to Metagonia View in CoL : procursus with ventral hinged process; genital bulb dorsally attached to tarsus and with embolus as the only projection; modified male clypeus. Additional evidence is the posteriorly elevated abdomen and the presence of only six eyes.
Note. This species reminds of litter-dwelling Brazilian species (size; male chelicerae; clypeus; microhabitat; see Huber et al. 2005) but differs in abdomen shape (posteriorly elevated).
