Diagnosis.

Differs from congeners by the absence of a distal proplica spine, telopodite distally stout and with attached, large, plate-like lamellae.

Remark.

The gonopod structure of a topotype (Fig. 5 View Figure 5 ) agrees closely with the drawings presented by Spelda (1993).

This species seems to be restricted to São Tomé Island.
