Orchestina saltabunda Simon, 1893c: 447 View in CoL , pl. 9.

fig. 12 (8 male and 17 female syntypes from Venezuela: Caracas : Colonia Tovar, 2200 m (10.41667°, -67.30000°), deposited in MNHN 6031, PBI _OON 42748; examined). – Dalmas, 1916: 238, figs. 6, 33–34 (mf) .

NOTE: The type material of O. saltabunda is in good condition in general, but most of the females lack their legs and some prosomas are separated from the abdomens. The label has an exclamation mark (!) after the locality, which according to Galiano (1974) means that it was collected by Simon himself. Also, the tube contains a small label with the number 14559 written by hand. A juvenile specimen of a different soft-bodied oonopid genus is mixed with the material.

DIAGNOSIS: Males can be distinguished by the shape of the copulatory bulb with a terminal arrow-shaped section in dorsal view (fig. 58H) and by having two teeth on the internal margin of chelicerae, one larger than the other (fig. 52E). Females can be distinguished by the shape of the anterior receptaculum, with massive lateral projections almost reaching the tip of the anterior receptaculum, and by having internal pockets (figs. 60D, 61D, 64D).

MALE (PBI_OON 42748): Total length 1.23. Habitus as in figure 52A. CEPHALOTHORAX (fig. 52B–E): Carapace as in figure 52B–E. Clypeus vertical in lateral view (fig. 52D, E). Sternum as long as wide (fig. 52C). Chelicerae anterior face with basal conical projections, mesal margin with two tooth-shaped projections, proximal larger than distal one; fangs tip unmodified. Labium rectangular. ABDOMEN: Pale yellow. LEGS: Yellow. GENITALIA: Bulb yellow; embolus short, dark, wide, base with laterally flattened projection in dorsal view; sperm duct coiled, with many loops (figs. 58G–I, 63E, F).

FEMALE (PBI_OON 42748): Total length 1.56. Habitus as in figure 52F–H. CEPHALO-

THORAX: Clypeus sloping forward in lateral view. Sternum longer than wide. GENITALIA: External pockets absent, internal pockets well developed; anterior receptaculum with massive lateral projections arising almost from the tip, anterior apodemes long, slightly hidden by such projections; posterior receptaculum present, posterior apodeme formed by entire plate (figs. 60D, 61D, 64D).

DISTRIBUTION: Known only from the type locality in Venezuela (Caracas, map 7).
