The Goblin Spider Genus Scaphiella (Araneae, Oonopidae) Author Platnick, N. Author Dupérré N. text Bulletin of the American Museum of Natural History 2010 2010-03-15 2010 332 1 156 journal article 0003-0090 Scaphiella incha , new species Figures 688–704 ; map 7 TYPE: Male holotype (missing abdomen) taken in a pitfall trap at an elevation of 220 at the Los Ríos Centro Cientifico , Río Palenque , Pichincha , Ecuador ( Mar. 7, 1981 ; S. Sandoval ), deposited in KBIN ( PBI _OON 16244) . DIAGNOSIS: Males can easily be distinguished from those of the sympatric species S. pich (and those of the other Ecuadorean males) by the reduced eyes (fig. 688), the shorter, more distally originating embolus (fig. 695), and the small protrusion situated medially of the embolus on the palpal bulb (fig. 694); females share the eye reduction and have a narrower anterior epigynal sclerite that occupies more than one-third of the width of the epigynal atrium (figs. 702– 704).

Carapace length 0.62 (abdomen missing). Carapace granulations present only around lateral and posterior margins, heaviest on sides of posterior declivity; eyes reduced, ALE separated by less than their diameter, PME separated by less than their radius. Sternum smooth. Endites unmodified. Abdomen unpatterned, scuta smooth. Palpal femur moderately enlarged; embolus originating at about one-fifth of cymbial length, bulb with knob situated near embolar origin. Figs. 555–560.
