- Abstract
To contribute to the knowledge of the fossil spiders in Chiapas, Mexico, a "pirate spider" (Araneae: Mimetidae) is described and photographed in a piece of amber from the Municipality of Simojovel de Allende, with a geological age of 23 millions of years (My). This family was previously found in Baltic, Dominican and Indian amber. I present an updated list of fossil spiders for Chiapas amber, 20 described species have been registered. However, this number could increase, with the revision of new material.
