Although some uncertainties still plague the author of this paper 
it seems at this time that a total of twelve species of the genus 
Scaphiella Simon must be recognized from the region under con- 
sideration. This list may be given as follows: Scaphiella agocena sp. 
nov. ; Scaphiella barroana Gertsch; Scaphiella curlena sp. nov. ; 
Scaphiella cymbalaria Simon; Scaphiella gertschi Chickering; Sca- 
phiella kalunda sp. nov.; Scaphiella schmidti Reimoser; Scaphiella 
scutata sp. nov. ; Scaphiella septella sp. nov. ; Scaphiella simla sp. 
nov.; Scaphiella weberi sp. nov.; Scaphiella williamsi Gertsch. 
Key to male Scaphiellae from Central America and 
the West Indies 
I a. Species with only the left palpal tarsus fully developed ( gertschi , 
scutata) 2 
ib. Species with both palpal tarsi fully developed (barroana, cym- 
balaria, kalunda, schmidti, septella, simla, weberi, williamsi) .... 3 
2a. Embolus arising from a relatively broad and angular base as 
in Figure 29; palpal femur somewhat inflated .... S. scutata , p. 
2b. Embolus arising from a narrower and more rounded base as in 
Figure 10; palpal femur not inflated S. gertschi , p. 
3a. Embolus arising distal to the middle of the palpal tarsus ( cym- 
balaria, kalunda , schmidti, septella) 4 
3b. Embolus arising at about the middle or proximal to the middle 
of the palpal tarsus ( barroana , simla , weberi , williamsi) 7 
4a. Sternum with conspicuous grooves and marginal lobes 
S. cymbalaria , p. 
4b. Sternum without conspicuous grooves or lobes ( kalunda, schmidti, 
septella) 5 
5 a. ALE separated from one another by about two fifths of their 
diameter S. kalunda, p. 
5b. ALE nearly or quite contiguous to one another ( schmidti , sep- 
tella) 6 
6a. Embolus arising from the side of a rounded tubercular base 
(Fig. 23) S. schmidti, p. 
6b. Embolus arising directly from the surface of the palpal tarsus 
without a tubercular base S. septella , p. 
7a. Embolus arising directly from a broad, bulbous base (Fig. 21, 
Gertsch, 1941) S. barroana, p. 
7b. Embolus not arising as given above (simla, weberi , williamsi) .. 8 
8a. Embolus arising directly from the surface of the tarsus but 
with a minute tubercle contiguous to its base (Fig. 19, Gertsch, 
1941) S. williamsi, p.
