Genus Nops MacLeay, 1839 Type species: Nops guanabacoae MacLeay, 1839 by monotypy. Diagnosis. Nops can be distinguished from Caponiinae genera by the presence of subsegmented tarsi (Sánchez– Ruiz, 2004: fig. 4), from other Nopinae genera (except Nopsides Chamberlin) by the elongated and reflexed unpaired claw at least on anterior tarsi, extending dorsally between the paired claws (Sánchez– Ruiz, 2004: fig. 5); and from Nopsides by having two, rather than four eyes, and for the presence of a translucent ventral keel on the anterior metatarsi, and a translucent extension of the membrane between the anterior metatarsi and tarsi (Dupérré, 2014: figs. 13–15).
