Abstract

"A new genus, Chilehexops, is established for the diplurid spiders Accola australis Mello-Leitão and a new species, C. platnicki, both from Chile. Chilehexops, which appears to be allied to the Euagrinae, is characterized by an elongate male palpal tibia, heavily sclerotized spermathecal trunks, the absence of posterior median eyes, and the absence of mating spurs, apophyses, or keels on the legs of males. Diagnoses, descriptions, illustrations, and locality records are provided for both species"--P. [1].
