Treatment

Lamyctes africana: Attems (1928: 56) , in part.

Material examined

Three ♂♂, 2 ♀♀, 2 juv. South Africa, Table Mountain , NMW 4787 View Materials .

Remarks

These specimens have 34–39 antennal articles, their forcipular coxosternite has less prominent shoulders, and their 15th legs are even longer and slenderer than in Danish specimens, length / diameter of tibia: 7.8, tarsus 1: 11, tarsus 2: 10. They clearly represent a species different from the Danish one. Attems (1928) gave the number of antennal articles as 25–38; possibly he had several species at hand.
