Platnick, Norman I. & Berniker, Lily, 2014, ffle Neotropical goblin spiders of the new genus Reductoonops (Araneae, Oonopidae), American Museum Novitates 2014 (3811), pp. 1-75 : 65

Reductoonops sasaima , new species ( figs. 324, 325, 327–340 )

TYPES: Male holotype, male paratype, female allotype, and two female paratypes taken under damp leaf mold at Finca Bella Vista, near Sasaima, Cundinamarca, Colombia (May 5, 1965; P. Craig), deposited in CAS (PBI_OON 35777) .

DIAGNOSIS: Males can be recognized by the enlarged, anteroventrally directed lobe at the tip of the endites ( figs. 328, 329 ) and the 180° bend at the base of the embolus ( figs. 335–338 ); females resemble those of R. leticia in having a basally enlarged, triangular anterior genital process, but its tip has shorter lateral projections than in that species ( figs. 339, 340 ).

MALE (PBI_OON 35777, figs. 324, 327–338 ): Total length 0.92. Surface of elevated portion of pars cephalica smooth. Eyes two; ALE touching. Sternum with anterior channels, surface smooth, without pits, microsculpture absent; setae densest laterally. Labium anterior margin deeply incised. Endite tip with enlarged, anteroventrally directed lobe. Base of embolus making 180° turn; cymbium not fused with bulb.

FEMALE (PBI_OON 35777, figs. 325 , 339, 340 ): Total length 1.17. Labium anterior margin indented at middle. Anterior genitalic process enlarged, basally widened, triangular, tip with short lateral projections, dorsal surface apparently with several glandular ducts.

OTHER MATERIAL EXAMINED: None.

DISTRIBUTION: Colombia (Cundinamarca).
