Apopyllus now Platnick & Shadab, 1984: 7 View in CoL , figs 19–22. Male holotype and female paratype from the south slope of Veeris Berg, Curaçao ( 12º10’7”N, 68º59’25”W), 20.XII.1962, H.W. Levi coll., deposited in MCZ (examined).

Diagnosis. Females can be distinguished by the anterior ridge arched and thick on the sides ( Figs 10 View FIGURE 10 E, 11E). Males can be diagnosed by the retrolateral cymbial projection shorter than the RTA in dorsal and ventral view, by the shorter embolus, with a more distally situated embolus loop, and by the shape of the robust RTA ( Figs 3 View FIGURE 3 C, 4C, 5C, 6C, 7C, 8C).

Description. See Platnick & Shadab (1984).

Material examined. Only the holotype and paratype.

Distribution. Known only from the type locality, Curaçao ( Fig. 14 View FIGURE 14 A).
