TYPES: Male holotype and female paratype from Lago Janauari , Manaus, Amazonas, Brazil (3 ° 129380 S 60 ° 19550W), Jan. 01, 1995, to Jan. 01, 1996, J. Adis col. ( IBSP 15080 View Materials PBI_OON 10941; IBSP 15124 View Materials PBI_ OON 10942) .
ETYMOLOGY: The species is named after the famous fictional character James Bond because its provisory name in the PBI database, CR007, included Bond’s code number (007).
DIAGNOSIS: Males of Simlops jamesbondi are similar to those of S. cachorro and S. platnicki by the endites with retroapical process long and pointed prolaterally. They can be easily recognized by the long, subquadrangular conductor (figs. 308, 309). Females can be recognized by the combined presence of a long and robust anteromedian rod, with triangular apex and a nearly straight transverse bar (fig. 326).
MALE (PBI_OON 10941, figs. 164–171, 284, 308, 309): Total length 1.82. Carapace, sternum, and mouthparts red-brown, legs orange-brown, femora and basal half of tibiae darkened; abdomen soft portions pale orange, abdominal scuta red-brown. Sternal microsculpture medially and in furrows. Endites with prolateral process long, laminar in the distal third, slightly bent retrolaterally; retrolateral projection stout, with rounded tip, curved prolaterally, median process inconspicuous (fig. 284). Postepigastric scutum almost semicircular, covering about 3/4 of abdominal length. Palp: embolus with large retromedian expansion and subquadrate, retroapical lamellar prong; conductor heavily sclerotized, flattened, with blunt tip, originating from the bulbus, adjacent to embolar insertion (figs. 169–171, 308, 309).
FEMALE (PBI_OON 10942, figs. 172– 176, 326): Total length 2.40. Dorsal scutum absent. Epigastric furrow medially straight, medially not sclerotized, without median notch, not connected laterally to anterior spiracles; postepigastric scutum not extending beyond groove connecting posterior spiracles, not enlarged laterally around pos- terior spiracles, without discrete lateral sclerotizations. Genitalia with thick posteromedian rod, anterior end strongly enlarged, triangular; transverse bar almost straight, with large rectangular plate close to epigastric furrow and short, thick, convergent lateral apodemes (figs. 176, 326).
