Abstract
A new species of the spider family Caponiidae, Aamunops kalebi sp. nov., is described from Chiapas, Mexico. Additionally, we provide new distributional or natural history and morphological remarks of three caponiids collected from South and Southern Mexico: Roddenberryus sargi (F. O. Pickard-Cambridge, 1899), R. spock Sánchez-Ruiz & Bonaldo, 2023, and Nops campeche Sánchez-Ruiz & Brescovit, 2018.
