Remarks. Jime was only known from the type locality, Pico da Neblina, near the borderline with Venezuela. It has been compared to Stygnus and Sickesia by the ornamentation of the prosoma and area III, and has been also related with Pickeliana, Phareus, Sickesia, Stygnus and Ricstygnus based on the pedipalpal patella moderately long, male patella IV with one large ventroapical anterior tubercle, and distal setae of ventral plate penis wide and compressed (Pinto-da-Rocha & Tourinho 2012).
