Onchopelma karooanum Hesse ( Fig. 4 View FIGURES 1 ­ 4 )

Onchopelma karooana Hesse, 1967: 105 .

REMARKS. The original description serves to identify this species very well. An additional character not mentioned by Hesse (1967) that can help distinguish this species from its congeners is the yellowish white frons ( Fig. 4 View FIGURES 1 ­ 4 ) (black color extending from occiput only to lateral ocelli of ocellar triangle). Since the original description, only one additional specimen of this species has been found: a headless female from Merweville, South Africa.

Material examined: SOUTH AFRICA: [Western Cape]: Dikbrome, Merweville, Jan 1953, H. Zinn ( SAMC).
