C = conductor; E = embolus; PBC = projection at base of conductor; PBE = projection at base of embolus; SF = spiny field; SP = serrated projection. Scale bar = 1 mm. Diagnosis. Males of V. fugiens (O. Pickard- Cambridge) comb. nov. are distinguished from those of the remaining Vindullus species, except V. guatemalensis (Keyserling) comb. nov. , in having palps with a loosely spiraled tegulum, a triangular projection at the base of the embolus, a long, laminar serrated projection and a prolateral spiny field ( Figs 1–3 ). They are distinguished from V. guatemalensis by the presence of a laminar, rounded, hyaline conductor (absent in V. guatemalensis ) and by the small spiny field, restricted to the prolateral surface of the tegulum (extending ventrally in V. guatemalensis , Figs 4–6 ). Females are unknown. Description. Male ( holotype ): Prosoma brown, reddish brown at eye area and along lateral margins of cephalic region; thoracic striae slightly darker; fovea brown; eye borders black. Chelicerae reddish brown. Legs and palps brown; leg metatarsi and tarsi dark brown. Labium and endites reddish brown. Sternum brownish orange with brown margins. Opisthosoma yellowish brown with no distinct pattern. Total length 12.8. Prosoma: 6.0 long, 6.1 wide. Opisthosoma: 6.6 long, 5.0 wide. Eyes arranged in two straight rows; diameters: 0.46, 0.45, 0.35, 0.40; interdistances: 0.37, 0.22, 0.60, 0.73, 0.65, 0.45. Chelicerae with two promarginal teeth, the basal one smallest, four retromarginal teeth, the basal one smallest, and four strong setae at the base of fang. Legs (2143): I: 37.6 (10.3, 3.8, 10.2, 10.5, 2.8); II: 40.0 (10.8, 4.0, 11.0, 11.4, 2.8); III: 28.3 (8.5, 3.1, 7.5, 7.0, 2.2); IV: 30.4 (9.3, 3.1, 8.0, 8.0, 2.0). Leg spination: femora I–III: p1-1-1, d0-1-1, r1-1-1; femur IV: p1-1-1, d0-1-1, r0-0-1; patellae I–IV: 0; tibiae I–IV: p1-0-1, r1-0-1, v2-2 -0; metatarsi I–IV: p1-1-0, r1-1-0, v2-2 -0. Palp: tibia approximately half the length of cymbium with one prolateral and one retrolateral strong spine; cymbium with small retroproximal protrusion, oval alveolus and dorsal chemosensory scopula; embolus filiform ( Figs 1–3 ). Female: Unknown. Distribution. Guatemala . Only known from the type locality.
