what indistinct. Ratio of eyes ALE : PME : PLE = nearly 6 : 
5 : 5. ALE separated from one another by nearly five-sevenths of 
their diameter; contiguous to PLE at one point and separated from 
PME by a broad line. PME contiguous to one another for fully 
one-third of their circumference and separated from PLE by a broad 
line. Clypeus very narrow and with ventral border very indistinct; 
several slender spines on clypeus and adjoining regions. Chelicerae, 
maxillae and lip apparently all typical of males of the genus and 
without observed special modifications. Sternum : recorded from a 
paratype because of curled, fragile legs of holotype; moderately con- 
vex; longer than wide in ratio of nearly 4:3; with faintly indicated 
marginal grooves and lobes ; extended between fourth coxae which 
are separated by a little more than their width. Legs: 4123 in order 
of length; spines are fairly numerous on third and fourth legs (Fig. 
27) ; trichobothria observed but number and placement not deter- 
mined. Palp: tarsus quite distinctive (Figs. 28-30) ; other segments 
typical of males of the genus and without special modifications. 
Abdomen : slender ovoid ; nearly typical of males of the genus in 
general; ventral scuta indiscernible. Color in alcohol: cephalothorax, 
legs and mouth parts very light yellowish with little variation ; only 
a moderate amount of black pigment in ocular area; a few paratypes 
show almost no pigment in ocular area and eyes are nearly indis- 
cernible; abdomen nearly pure white. 
Diagnosis . This species appears to be most closely related to 
Oonops vestus sp. nov. from Trinidad, W. I. The features of the 
male palp together with several other minor features definitely 
establish it as a new species. No palpal tarsus with this type of ter- 
mination has been seen thus far in this study of the genus Oonops. 
Records. One paratype male was taken in May, 1951 on So. 
Bimini, Bahama Ids. by Dr. W. J. Gertsch and M. A. Cazier; five 
males were taken in June, 1951 on the same island by C. and P. 
Vaurie. The female is unknown.

Idolotype. The male holotype is from St. Croix, U. S. Virgin 
Islands, Sept. 1, 1966. The name of the species is an arbitrary 
combination of letters. 
Description. Total length nearly 1.34 mm, including extended 
spinnerets. Carapace nearly 0.55 mm long; nearly 0.4 mm wide 
opposite second coxae; nearly 0.26 mm tall; considerably narrowed 
shortly behind PLE; with profile essentially as shown in Figure 31. 
Eyes: six in two rows as usual in the genus (Fig. 32). Posterior
