Prodysderina rollardae , new species

Figures 85–95

TYPE: Male holotype from cloud forest litter taken at an elevation of 1450 m on the road to Pico Guacamaya , Estacio´ n Biolo´ gica Rancho Grande , Parque Nacional Henri Pittier, 10 ° 21'30"N, 67 ° 40'30"W, Aragua, Venezuela (May 14, 1998; R. Anderson), deposited in AMNH ( PBI_OON 983 ) .

ETYMOLOGY: The specific name is a patronym in honor of Christine Rollard (MNHN), in recognition of her assistance, with the Simon collection in Paris, to all the PBI participants.

DIAGNOSIS: Males resemble those of P. janetae but have a wider distal prong on the embolus (figs. 88–93); females have the sclerite connecting the apodemes relatively straight (figs. 87, 94, 95).

MALE (PBI_OON 983, figs. 85, 88–93): Total length 1.82. ALE separated by less than their radius. Sternum surface coarsely reticulate, microsculpture everywhere but front. Anterior tip of endites with small, dark, triangular process. Dorsal scutum not fused to epigastric scutum. Postepigastric scutum long, almost rectangular. Leg spination: femora: I p0-0-2, r1-1-1; II p0-0-2; tibiae: I v4-4-2; II v4-4-1p; metatarsi: I v2-2-1p; II v3- 2-0. Embolus with distal prong relatively wide, tip ledgelike, proximal prong short, sharp.

FEMALE (PBI_OON 984, figs. 86, 87, 94, 95): Total length 2.01. Dorsal scutum covering 1/2 to 3/4 of abdomen length, more than 1/2 to most of abdomen width. Postepigastric scutum widely hexagonal, covering about 1/2 of abdomen length. Leg spination: femora I, II p0-0-2, r1-1-1; tibiae I, II v4-4-2; metatarsi: I v2-2-2; II v3-1r- 1p. Anterior genitalic process very long, narrow, slightly expanded at about 3/4 its length.
