( Fig. 4F )

Remarks: A single specimen, possibly of B. subjoannis Darby , which was originally described from Angola and is not known from any other country. The pump appears to be situated in a different position on the receptacle to that of subjoannis but that could be the result of distortion during dissection ( Fig. 4F ).
