Abstract
OLittle is known about amblypigid spiders in Puerto Rico. The objective of this study is threefold to revise the taxonomy, to update data about geographical distribution and to provide information about the biology of each of the four species of tail-less whipspiders in the island. Three apulvillate phrynids, Phrynus longipes, P. marginemaculatus, and P. damonidaensis, are redescribed. P. damonidaensis is reported for the first time from Puerto Rico, its easternmost range in the Caribbean. Charinus aguayoi is a new species described from the Río Grande municipality. It is the first report of this genus, and it is the only pulvillated amblypygid of the Charinidae in Puerto Rico. A taxonomic key for species identification is also included.
