Several females, taken in several different localities in Jamaica, 
W. I. in 1957, 1963 and 1964 are with some uncertainty placed 
in this species. Males taken at the same time as these females and 
in the same localities have proven to be very problematical. In some 
respects they closely resemble Oonops balanus Chickering; in some 
other respects they come close to the missing males of Oonops pallidu- 
lus (Chickering). Because of this uncertainty they are left unplaced 
to species awaiting further study by some student of the genus. 
Oonops pulicarius Simon 
Oonops pulicarius Simon, 1891: 564, fig. 8. Male and female types from the 
Island of St. Vincent, B. W. I. are in the British Museum (Natural 
History), examined. Simon, 1893: 445; 1893: 294; Petrunkevitch, 1911: 
128; Roewer, 1942: 278; Bonnet, 1958: 3192. 
This species, apparently, has not been collected since the types 
were taken on St. Vincent a few years prior to 1891. I did not 
collect the species during my visit to this island in 1966. The 
distinguishing features are difficult to discern clearly but, apparently, 
the species is not closely related to any with which I have become 
familiar during this study. 
Oonops validus Bryant

Oonops validus Bryant, 1948: 341, fig. 3. The male holotype from the 
Dominican Republic is in the Museum of Comparative Zoology, Har- 
vard University, examined. 
In addition to the conspicuous paired ventral spines on the first 
and second tibiae mentioned in the original description, the first 
and second metatarsi also have two pairs of ventral spines. The 
third and fourth legs also have spines but not the conspicuous ones 
borne by the first and second. 
Apparently, Miss Bryant confused the two separate terminations 
of the palpal tarsus and thought that there was only one curled 
tube. I believe there are two terminations, the embolus and con- 
ductor, as I have tried to show in Figure 23. 
Oonops viridans Bryant

Oonops viridans Bryant, 1942: 1, fig. 1. The holotype female from £1 
Yunque, Puerto Rico is in the Museum of Comparative Zoology, ex- 
amined. 
The holotype was collected in 1930 by Dr. P. J. Darlington, Jr. 
I have several females which, until recently, have been regarded as 
representing a new species. Several important features of the holo- 
type are difficult to discern but after careful comparison I have de-
