Ponsoonops mirante
,
new species
Figures 187–198
TYPES:
Male
holotype
and
one male
paratype
from a
Berlese
sample of floor litter taken at
Almirante
,
Bocas del Toro
,
Panama
(
Mar. 27, 1959
,
H.S. Dybas
), deposited in
FMNH
(PBI_ OON 10400)
.
ETYMOLOGY: The specific name is a noun in apposition taken from the shortened name of the
type
locality.
DIAGNOSIS: Males resemble those of the
sanvito
group in having a distinct ventral slit at the embolus (figs. 196, 197). They differ from all those species, except
P. lucha
and
P. sanvito
, in lacking a median protrusion at the embolus (fig. 328). They differ from those of
P.lucha
by the well-separated embolus and conductor, and from those of
P. sanvito
in having a broadly rounded conductor tip (rather than sharply pointed).
MALE (PBI_OON 10400, figs. 187–198): Total length 1.06. Leg spination: tibiae: I v4-2-2; II v4-2-1p; IV p0-1-0; v0-0-2, r1-1-0; metatarsi: I, II v2-2-2; IV p0-1-0, r0-1-0. Sperm pore oval. Cymbial cone not detected. Tarsal organ on palpal cymbium with distal receptor appearing bifid.
