Simonoonops soltina (Chickering) View in CoL , new combination

Figures 153–167 View FIGURES 153–167

Dysderina principalis View in CoL (misidentification): Simon, 1891: 557, fig. 1 (in part, some specimens from Saint Vincent only).

Dysderina princeps (misidentification): Simon, 1893a: 290, fig. 260 (male).

Dysderina soltina Chickering, 1968: 31 , figs. 69–73 (male holotype from Saint Vincent, in BMNH, examined; not female paratype, figs. 74, 75, which belongs to S. chickeringi View in CoL ).

Dysderina zinona Chickering, 1968: 35 , figs. 85, 86 (female holotype from Mt. Soufriere , Saint Vincent, in MCZ, examined). NEW SYNONYMY.

DIAGNOSIS: Males can be recognized by the straight, distally expanded palpal conductor (figs. 158–161), females by the thick, heavily sclerotized transverse bar connecting the genitalic apodemes (figs. 165–167).

MALE (PBI_OON 669, figs. 153–161): Total length 1.80. Posterior half of pars cephalica with pair of elongate, oval, paramedian light areas, surface of anterior portion granulate, posterior portion smooth. Chilum small, rectangular. Endites with ventral process long, narrow, tip pointed toward dorsal process. All femora darkened. Leg spination: femora: I p0-0-2, r0-1-0, II p0-0-1; tibiae: I v4-4-0, II v4-3-0; metatarsi: I v2-2-1p, II v2-2-0. Embolus short, with broad, triangular base, conductor set at oblique angle, expanded at tip.

FEMALE (PBI_OON 672, figs. 162–167): Total length 2.08. Surface of posterior portion of pars cephalica with U-shaped smooth area surrounding reticulate median area. Leg spination: femora: I p0-0-2, r0-2-1, II p0-0-2; r0-2-0; tibiae I, II v4-4-1p; metatarsi I, II v2-2- 1p. Atrium oval, posterior margin appears thickened because of heavily sclerotized transverse bar connecting apodemes; atrium almost filled with oval sclerotization, with long, narrow, anterior genitalic process visible through sclerotization.

MATERIAL EXAMINED: Windward Islands: Saint Vincent: no specific locality ( BMNH PBI_OON 668, plus holotype of Dysderina soltina, BMNH PBI _OON 669, these specimens originally misidentified as Dysderina principalis by Simon, 1891), 6♂, 1♀, ( MNHN 5765, PBI_OON 4738, originally misidentified as Dysderina principalis by Simon, 1891), 2♀, ( MNHN PBI_OON 670, misidentified as Dysderina princeps by Simon, 1893a), 1♂. Mt. Soufriere, Jan. 6, 1965 (R. Bell, MCZ PBI 672), 1♀ (holotype).

DISTRIBUTION: Windward Islands ( Saint Vincent).

SYNONYMY: As discussed in the Introduction, we hypothesize that Chickering’s D. zinona is the female of D. soltina .
