Description

For description of both sexes see Wesołowska & Szűts (2021). Palpal organ as in Fig. 70A–C. Epigyne in Fig. 70D, its internal structure in Fig. 70E.

Distribution

Previously known from Cameroon, Gabon and north Angola, it is its first record form Uganda.

Remarks

The males from other countries have a lobate protrusion below the base of palpal tibia. This process is very small in the Ugandan specimens (compare Fig. 70C with Wesołowska & Szűts 2021: figs 83, 85). It is likely that this appendix varies in size between local populations.
