Description

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

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 View Fig with Wesołowska & Szűts 2021: figs 83, 85). It is likely that this appendix varies in size between local populations.
