39. Systropus trispinosus 1 Ψ Tanganyika. MS page 39.

Bezzi, 1924: 117 – key only.

Bowden, 1967: 160 – key and description from two males from Malawi in BMNH: 1ɗ, Ruol[?], 5.iii.1913 (S.A. Neave); 1ɗ, Mlange, 12.xi.1913 (S.A. Neave). Evenhuis & Greathead, 1999: 67 – 1 syntype listed in BMNH. There is no record of this specimen at BMNH. We conclude that it is an error and should be deleted. Types: The female holotype in HNHM was destroyed in 1956 and no other specimens seen by Bezzi are known.

Remarks: The two male specimens described by Bowden (1967) in BMNH are the only known specimens identified as belonging to this species.
