Notnops calderoni is a four-eyed spider species from Chile. Males are about 2mm, females almost 3mm.

Name

The genus name is a pun on the fact that there are no caponiid spiders of the subfamily Nopinae (named after the genus Nops) in Chile. Named in the same spirit are the Taintnops (It ain't Nops) and the Tisentnops (This ain't Nops) genera of spiders. The species name is in honor of Chilean arachnologist Raúl Calderón.
