“…Members of the Venezuelan species V. chordio (figs. 428-442) most closely resemble those of the cafista group in general bulb and embolus shape, and even share with them what seems to be a distal opening on the conductor (similar to the one reported in species of the soft-bodied oonopine genus Neotrops by Grismado and Ramírez, 2013). The remaining three Venezuelan species are problematic: V. grancho (figs.…”

“…In previously published illustrations, we have detected the cymbial cone only in two African species of Orchestina Simon described by Henrard and Jocqué (2012: figs. 165, 166, 252, 253), but it is also apparent in images of an as yet undescribed South American species of Orchestina and members of two undescribed groups, as well as possibly in members of the soft-bodied oonopine genus Neotrops Grismado and Ramírez (2013). Given this relatively widespread distribution within the family, the cymbial cone is unlikely to be a synapomorphy of an oonopid subgroup, but the presence or absence of the character needs to be documented in other oonopid genera, especially those of the subfamily Sulsulinae, as well as in the other families of dysderoids.…”

A new genus, Varioonops, is established for a group of species characterized by sexual dimorphism in abdomen morphology (with a dorsal scutum present in males but not females), male palps with a separate cymbium and bulb, and a patterned abdomen. The closest relatives of the new genus appear to be three similar, but as yet undescribed, Neotropical genera that share those characters, but the members of Varioonops are united by a putative synapomorphy that does not seem to occur in those undescribed groups: a granulated sternum. Attention is drawn to the cymbial cone, a structure (possibly a receptor) found near the tip of the cymbium in Varioonops, members of the Orchestininae, and at least some soft-bodied members of the Oonopinae. A total of 23 new species are described: V. cafista (the type species), V. velsala, V. montesta, V. spatharum, V. poas, V. varablanca, V. tortuguero, V. veragua, V. heredia, and V. girven from Costa Rica, V. ramila and V. sansidro from Costa Rica and Panama, V. funator and V. cerrado from Panama, V. edvardi and V. sinesama from Colombia, and V. yacambu, V. trujillo, V. pittieri, V. chordio, V. parlata, V. potaguo, and V. grancho from Venezuela.

“…The absence of spines is a useful character to separate Orchestina from other spiny, soft-bodied oonopids with which it can be confused, such as Neotrops Grismado and Ramírez (2013), Gradunguloonops Grismado et al, 2015(in Grismado et al, 2015, and other genera with robust spines, especially on the forelegs. Exceptionally, some species may have paired, very thin spines at the ends of metatarsi III and IV that are easily overlooked or difficult to distinguish from regular setae.…”

“…In recent years, catalyzed by the Goblin Spider Planetary Biodiversity Inventory (PBI) project, some of those groups have been delineated (Platnick and Dupérré, 2009b;Grismado and Ramírez, 2013;Berniker, 2013a, 2013b). With the establishment here of three new genera (Toloonops, Guatemoonops, and Emboonops), we take another step in the same direction, removing an additional three misplaced species from Oonops.…”

Three new genera of soft-bodied, oonopine goblin spiders are established. Two specific names (Oonops tolucanus Gertsch and Davis, Oonops chickeringi Brignoli) are transferred to the new genus Toloonops, characterized by retaining a separate palpal bulb and cymbium, having the cymbial cone near the cymbial margin, and having posteriorly directed projections on the male endites that originate far from the anterior endite margins; five new species are described: T. chiapa, T. jacala, T. veracruz, T. belmo, and T. verapaz. Six similar new species, united by having a stepped male endite profile and a subapical sclerite on the anterior genitalic process of females, are assigned to the new genus Guatemoonops: G. purulha, G. rhino, G. jaba, G. chilasco, G. augustin, and G. zacapa. Oonops mckenziei Gertsch is transferred to the new genus Emboonops, characterized by having a fused palpal bulb and cymbium, a hypertrophied embolus, and often a V-shaped female anterior genitalic process; nine new species are described:
