(Figs. 21A–D, 37H)

Type series: Holotype female, dissected and slide mounted, Ghana, Ankasa River, Ankasa NP, 5º 13.011 N, 2º 39.126 W, 13.ii.2013 Smit.

Diagnosis: Dorsal shield oval (L/W ratio 1.2), with medial depression (Fig. 37H); muscle scars anterior and posterior to the postocularia with weakly pronounced thickenings, second pair of muscle scars shifted to the edge of dorsal depression (Figs. 21A); gnathosomal bay V-shaped; tips of Cx-I ending posterior to frontal margin; medial margins of Cx-IV not reduced to a median angle and well separated from each other, posterior margin of Cx-IV directed posterolaterally; one pair of longitudinal striae on Cx-IV. Palp (Fig. 21D): P-1 without a dorsal seta; P-2 strongly inflated, in proximal part with strongly protruding dorsal margin forming an acute angle, ventral margin S-shaped, distally convex; P-3 higher proximally than distally, ventral margin concave, dorsal margin strongly convex; P-4 basally thickened. Legs: I-L (Fig. 21C) with I-L-6 L/H ratio 2.2, ventral and dorsal margins distally strongly diverging; IV-L too foreshortened to illustrate, but similar to D. expansipalpis (see Fig. 19F); swimming setae numbers: III-L-5, 5; IV-L-4, 3; IV-L-5, 5.
