Resumen:
The taxonomy of thepoorly known South American goblin spider genus Birabenella Grismado(Araneae: Oonopidae) is updated in light of recently collected material. Threenew species are described: B. kamanchaca, from northern Chile, B.portai, from northwestern Argentina, and B. chincha, from southernPeru, where the genus is reported for the first time. The diagnosis of the genusis updated; the presence of the ventral digitiform projection on the malecopulatory bulb in the three newly described species supports this character asa putative synapomorphy for the genus. Additionally, all species in this genuspossess unipectinate tarsal claws. Preliminary observations indicate that thereis some degree of variability in tarsal organ morphology.
