Diagnosis
Based on the description of Quintero (1983), this species may be separated from other Caribbean and Central American Charinus by means of the following combination of characters: carapace, pedipalps and leg I femur, yellowish-brown; abdominal tergites and femora of legs lighter, more yellowish than carapace, without pattern; median eyes and ocular tubercle absent; lateral eyes reduced, whitish; male gonopod, apex of fistula and lateral lobe strongly sclerotized; cheliceral basal segment without tooth on retrolateral surface; bifid tooth with dorsal cusp distinctly longer than ventral cusp; transverse row of six setae near base of cheliceral basal segment; pedipalp femur with three or four dorsal spines; two prominent setiferous tubercles proximal to femur spine 1; pedipalp femur with three ventral spines and small setiferous tubercle proximal to first spine; pedipalp patella with three dorsal spines, two ventral spines and two distinct setiferous tubercles proximal to spine II; three prominent setiferous tubercles between spine I and distal margin; pedipalp tarsus with two dorsal spines, distal spine more than twice length of proximal spine; tibia of leg I with 21 articles, tarsus I with 33 articles; first tarsal article almost three times length of subsequent article; leg IV basitibia with three pseudo-articles; trichobothrium bc situated closer to sbf than to bf; sc and sf series each with five trichobothria.
Etymology
Patronym honoring Dr Fred R. Wanless (Quintero 1983).
Type material
Holotype CUBA • 1 ♂; Santiago de Cuba Province, Siboney, El Caney, Los Majaes Cave; [20°00′49.77″ N, 75°46′41.85″ W]; Dec. 1966; C. Fundora leg.; ACC [now IES; L.F. de Armas, pers. com.; not deposited in collection according to Armas (2004, 2014)].
Paratypes CUBA • 1 juv.; same collection data as for holotype; ACC • 2 ♀♀, 1 ♂, 1 juv.; same locality as for holotype; 23 Mar. 1969; MCZ [not examined] • 2 juv.; Granma Province, Cueva de Banega; [19°58′38.42″ N, 75°52′31.21″ W]; 20 Mar.1973; ACC ISR 56 [not examined].
Measurements
See Table 1.
Distribution
Known from the Cuban provinces of Granma, Santiago de Cuba, and Siboney.
Natural history
Troglophile species that lives under stones inside and outside caves. Found in dry coastal forests (Playa de Juraguá) and semi-deciduous forests, up to 300 m above sea level (Matías, Tercer Frente) (Armas 2006b).
Remarks
See Miranda et al. (2016b) for comparison of C. wanlessi with other Cuban and Caribbean Charinus.
