Griffinleg., deposited in SMN 41144. Paratypes: 2 maleswith same data as holotype; 2 femalesfrom same locality as holotype,  8 August– 14 September 1987, E. Griffinleg., ( SMN40697).   Etymology.The specific name refers to the typelocality, noun in apposition.   Diagnosis.  Purcelliana kamaseb  sp. nov.resembles  P. khabus  sp. nov.in having the carapace reddish-brown and strongly rugose ( Figs 26A, B), and by the male palp with the embolus curved retrolaterally ( Figs 32B, 33B). The males are distinguished by the palps with vRTA pointed in ventral view and truncate in retrolateral view (rounded in  P. khabus) and by the dRTA bent ventrally (bent dorsally in  P. khabus) ( Figs 32B, D); females are distinguished by the epigyne with diverging V-shaped copulatory openings (converging in  P. khabus) and by the posterior-median depression with longitudinal grooves (absent in  P. khabus) ( Figs 30E, 32E). Both males and females are markedly larger that those of  P. khabus.   Description.Male (SMN 41144). Legs orange and abdomen pale yellow ( Figs 26A, B). Total length: 3.30.
