Wilmot, under bark, SCC06_034, 1♀, 2♂, 2 imm. (CAS sel_387-391). Etymology. This species is named in honor of the Wilmot family for their hospitality and preservation and expansion of Jamaican culture. It is to be treated as a noun in apposition. Diagnosis. Females can be differentiated from other species by the sinuous margin and epigynal pockets (Figs 103-104) and males can be separated from other species by the conductor and thornlike medial branch of the RTA (Figs 105-106).

The female guards the white, disc-shaped egg sac. One female made an egg sac before 5.VI.2006, and spiderlings hatched, but stayed in the egg sac until 17.VI.2006. One was observed attacking a termite and then rejecting it. A pseudoscorpion was also found inside of an abandoned egg sac (Fig. 188) Distribution. Endemic to Jamaica and known from the southeast coast (Map 11).
