Paradysderina huila , new species Figures 656–663

TYPE: Female holotype from montane forest litter taken at an elevation of 1600 m at Resinas , 1 ° 559N, 75 ° 429W, Huila, Colombia (June 8, 1956; H. Sturm), deposited in MCZ (PBI_OON 37014) .

ETYMOLOGY: The specific name is a noun in apposition taken from the type locality.

DIAGNOSIS: Females of this relatively large species have a distinctively short, slit-shaped genital atrium (figs. 661–663). The details of the sternal microsculpture make it unlikely that this could be the female of any the five Colombian species known only from males.

MALE: Unknown.

FEMALE (PBI_OON 37014, figs. 656– 663): Total length 2.50. Elevated portion of pars cephalica appears reticulate. Chilum tiny, triangular. Postepigastric scutum covering about one-third of abdomen length, not

fused to epigastric scutum. Leg spination: femora: I p0-0-2; r0-1-0, II p0-0-1; tibiae: I v4-4-2, II v4-4-1p; metatarsi: I v2-2-2, II v2-2- 0. Atrium reduced to wide, short strip.

OTHER MATERIAL EXAMINED: None.

DISTRIBUTION: Central Colombia (Huila).
