Selenops camerun Corronca, 2001 ( Figs. 16­17 )

Selenops camerun Corronca, 2001 : Arthr. Sel. 10:56, figs. 3­4. Female holotype from Cameroon, Southwest Prov: Fako Div., Limbe Subdiv., 1.4km NE of Etome, ca 400m, 04º02´58.58´´N and 09º07´31.43´´E, 13­19/I/1992, in USNM, examined.

Diagnosis. Selenops camerun seems closest to S. lobatse Corronca ( Figs. 49­50 ). The females of this species can be distinguished by the shape of the epigynum, with the lateral lobes situated close to the median line ( Fig. 16 ), and by the shape of the middle field and spermathecae ( Figs. 16­17 ).

Female. The female was described by Corronca (2001), epigynum and spermathecae as in Figs. 16­17 .

Male. Unknown.

Known distribution. Known only from the type locality.
