TYPES: Male holotype and male paratype from Pisonia litter taken on a southern slope with dry substrate at an elevation of 380 m on Isla Pinta, Galapagos Islands (Jan. 20, 1977; W. Reeder), deposited in TMM (57873, PBI_OON 36961).

DIAGNOSIS: Males can easily be recognized by having all the terminal palpal elements fused into a single structure (figs. 556–559), females by the hourglass-shaped anterior genitalic process (figs. 546, 547).

Sternum with anterior channels, surface smooth, without pits, microsculpture absent; setae densest laterally. Labium anterior margin deeply incised. Endite tip with narrow, laterally directed lobe. Palpal apophysis, conductor, and embolus apparently fused into single structure, process on embolus still visible; cymbium completely fused with bulb, no seam visible.

FEMALE (PBI_OON 36959, figs. 544–547): Total length 1.69. Labium anterior margin indented at middle. Anterior genitalic process short, hourglass shaped.
