Abstract:
The spider family Migidae Simon, 1889 is represented in Chile by three genera: Calathotarsus Simon, 1903, Mallecomigas Goloboff Platnick, 1987 and Goloboffia Griswold Ledford, 2001. In the present study, four new species of Goloboffia from Chile are described, increasing the known diversity and geographic distribution of the genus. Goloboffia megadeth sp. nov. and G. pachelbeli sp. nov., are described based on males and females; Goloboffia griswoldi sp. nov. and G. biberi sp. nov. are known only by females.
