Reductoonops real, new species (figs. 161–183) TYPE: Male holotype from El Real, Chiapas, Mexico (July 3, 1950; C., M. Goodnight), deposited in AMNH (PBI_OON 1432). DIAGNOSIS: Members of this species resemble those of the majority of species in having only two eyes, but show no trace of the anterior sternal channels found in most of those species (figs. 163, 176, 177). The male palp shows the typically sinuous embolus, but the embolus tip bears only a single projection (best seen in dorsal view, fig. 175), rather than the group of projections found in other species. The female anterior genitalic process is of the typically unipartite form, but is shorter and more ovoid than in other species (figs. 182, 183). MALE (PBI_OON 1432, figs. 161–176): Total length 1.22. Surface of elevated portion of pars cephalica smooth. Eyes two; ALE touching. Sternum without anterior channels, surface smooth, without pits, microsculpture absent; setae densest laterally. Labium anterior margin indented at middle. Endite tip with slight lobe, laterally protruding, anteromedially directed macroseta. Embolus sinuous, tip with single spur; cymbium fused with bulb but with clearly defined seam between. FEMALE (PBI_OON 1467, figs. 177–183): Total length 0.98. Anterior genitalic projection relatively short, unipartite, torpedo shaped. OTHER MATERIAL EXAMINED: MEXICO: Chiapas: 5 mi NE Chiapa, 16°45′N, 92°58′W, Aug. 26, 1966, hillside (J., W.
