“…The Indian species has since been studied in detail by Grismado et al (2014), who also described several related species from caves in northern India and Thailand; all those species seem to be completely blind, although one of the Indian species shows what appear to be remnants of the eyes, beneath the cuticle. The normal-eyed venezuelan species transferred to Dysderoides by Fage is not at all closely related to these taxa, and belongs to a new Neotropical genus studied by Bolzern (2014).…”

A new genus, Reductoonops, is established for a group of New World soft-bodied oonopine spiders, found from Mexico south to Chile, characterized by reduced size, a flattened clypeus, loss of the posterior median spinnerets, and often by loss of the four posterior eyes. Members of this group resemble those of Stenoonops Simon but lack the clump of short setae found on the dorsal surface of the palpal tarsus of both sexes in that genus, and often have four pairs of deep channels at the sides of the sternum, the most anterior pair of which demarcate a short, trapezoidal, anterior portion of the sternum. A total of 34 new species are described from

“…The spermophor lost its cuticular lining, as especially characteristic in Oonopinae (Platnick et al, 2012a), and Grismado et al (2014) identified an exposed male sperm pore as synapomorphy of higher gamasomorphines. Nevertheless, the internal phylogeny of goblin spiders is still poorly resolved and needs to be addressed in future studies.…”

“…Originally, P. micans, known only from its type locality in Venezuela, was placed in Telchius Simon, a genus otherwise found only in Africa with T. barbarus as the type species from Algeria. It was subsequently transferred to Dysderoides Fage (1946), a placement recently rejected by Grismado et al (2014). As mentioned by the latter authors, the specimens of the type series of Telchius micans were considered immature, most probably due to their weak body sclerotization.…”

Two new genera, Ponsoonops and Bipoonops, are established for groups of species characterized by sexually dimorphic dorsal abdominal scutum expression (with a scutum present in males but not females), male palps with a separate cymbium and bulb, and a patterned abdomen. Both genera belong therefore to the Varioonops complex, represented now by three described Neotropical genera. Members of Ponsoonops are united by three putative synapomorphies in males: a "pierlike" dorsal scutum completely fused to the epigastric scutum, a patch of short setae ventrodistally on metatarsi I and II, and a short anteromedian protrusion on the endites. Female Ponsoonops specimens differ from other members of the Varioonops complex in having small lateral sclerites at the epigynal area and a smooth sternum. Members of Bipoonops share a large, irregularly shaped, rather indistinct dark spot posteriorly on the carapace, a putative synapomorphy, and a moderately rugose sternum surface; males are characterized by a distinct, bipartite conductor. A total of 22 Ponsoonops species, 21 new to science, are described: P. duenas, P. hamus, and P. tacana from Mexico, Guatemala, and Belize, P. bilzi, P. lucha, P. samadam, P. sanvito, and P. viejo from Costa Rica, P. bollo, P. boquete, P. coiba, P. fanselix, P. frio, P. lerida, P. mirante, P. panto, P. salimsa, and P. vuena from Panama, P. pansedro from Colombia, P. micans (Simon, transferred from Dysderoides) from Venezuela, P. yumuri from Cuba, and P. lavega from the Dominican Republic. Bipoonops is described for three new species found on the western slope of the Andes in Ecuador: B. baobab, B. pucuna, and B. tsachila.
