The three known species of the genus Loxosceles Heineken & Lowe from Cuba and Hispaniola are revised and two new species, Loxosceles maisi sp. nov. and Loxosceles mogote sp. nov., are described from the eastern region of Cuba. These new species are included in the reclusa group, and are considered close to Loxosceles taino Gertsch & Ennik as they have a greatly thickened male palpal tibia, a projecting cymbium, and large receptacles in the female genitalia. The distribution ranges of the known Cuban and Hispaniolan species are extended.
对来自古巴和伊斯帕尼奥拉岛的已知三种隐蛛属(Heineken & Lowe)蜘蛛进行了修订,并从古巴东部地区描述了两个新物种,即迈西隐蛛(Loxosceles maisi sp. nov.)和莫戈特隐蛛(Loxosceles mogote sp. nov.)。这些新物种被归入隐居隐蛛组,并且由于它们具有极度加厚的雄性触肢胫节、突出的跗舟以及雌性生殖器中的大型受精囊,被认为与泰诺隐蛛(Loxosceles taino Gertsch & Ennik)关系密切。已知古巴和伊斯帕尼奥拉岛物种的分布范围得到了扩展。
