Holotype. ♀ from GABON: leg. Mocquery (No further data) (MNHN-17.436).
Etymology. The specific name is a patronym honoring French arachnologist Eugène Simon, who described Carteronius .
Diagnosis. Females of C. simoni sp. nov. are similar to those of C. lumumba sp. nov. by the inconspicuous lateral plates of the posterior epigynal sector ( Figs 16D View FIGURE 16 , 17C View FIGURE 17 ) but can be recognized by the wider, divergent copulatory ducts ( Fig. 17C View FIGURE 17 ).
