038787BCF43873005988F98A5AD9DD36.taxon	discussion	Remarks. Simon (1892) described Triaeris stenaspis based on a female from Saint Vincent Island, and this now pantropical and introduced species has never had a male documented. Thus, it is likely this species is wholly parthenogenic (Brescovit et al., 2019). The long seta on the chelicera and the female genitalia (Figs 8 – 9) illustrated in the original description of Oonops erinaceus by Benoit (1977) are typical of T. stenaspis material from multiple continents examined by DS, ADB, AH and RJ (pers. obs.). Indeed, the epigyne of the holotype, with distinctive morphology of the receptacle, is almost indistinguishable from specimens from other regions (cf. Figs 6, 7) and differences in the habitus to fresh specimens are simply the result of long-term preservation in ethanol (Figs 1 – 5). Although the type specimen of O. erinaceus is almost completely bleached and appears at first to lack scuta, we can still faintly observe the border of the dorsal scutum (Figs 2, 4). Therefore, we propose, based on near-identical cheliceral setae and epigynal morphology, that O. erinaceus be considered a junior synonym of T. stenaspis syn. nov.	en	Sherwood, Danniella, Brescovit, Antonio D., Henrard, Arnaud, Jocqué, Rudy, Fowler, Liza (2023): Oonops erinaceus Benoit, 1977, a junior synonym of Triaeris stenaspis Simon, 1892 (Araneae: Oonopidae).
