Parametrypa fortipes fortipes (Walker, 1869)

( Figs 29–31 )

Material examined. South Africa, KwaZulu–Natal Prov. : 2 females, 50–60 km SW of Durban City, Vernon Crookes Nature Reserve, 200–400 m, remnants of forest along small river, on bush leaves at night, 23–26.I.2008, A. Gorochov & A. Sotshivko ( ZIN) .

Remarks. Parametrypa fortipes was described from a wide area without precise locality (see remarks to Parametrypa above). Some peculiarities of the body coloration (see the key below) allowed me to identify these two females as P. fortipes fortipes .
