A new species of Linothele Karsch 1879 from Panama (Araneae: Mygalomorphae: Dipluridae)

Abstract 


A new species of Dipluridae Simon 1889, Linothele darien n. sp., is described from Panama. This is the first Linothele Karsch 1879 species described for the continental part of Central America and the second outside South America. Linothele darien n. sp. is compared to L. megatheloides Paz & Raven 1990 and L. sericata (Karsch 1879), two similar species from Colombia. Also, a discussion about the specimens from Panama studied and identified as L. megatheloides by N. Paz is included.
