Etymology

Patronym honoring Dr R. Jeannel ( Fage & Simon 1936).

Type material (examined)

Syntypes TANZANIA • 1 protonymph, 1 deutonymph; Tanga , Grotte C du Kulumuzi ; [05°04′34.28″ S, 39°02′30.40″ E]; 16 Apr. 1912; Alluaud and Jeannel leg.; MNHN 536 About MNHN GoogleMaps .

Remarks

The syntypes are small and whitish juveniles (protonymph and deutonymphs), as noted by Delle Cave (1986). The larger syntype is well preserved, but missing the antenniform leg I, whereas the smaller syntype is missing the opisthosoma.

The tritosternum of the larger syntype is projected anteriorly, surpassing the pedipalp coxae, and the other sternal platelets are small, rounded and concave, each with a pair of setae. The pedipalp femur bears two dorsal spines and two ventral spines and the patella bears three dorsal spines and two ventral spines. The basitibia of leg IV consists of four pseudo-articles.

The pedipalp of the smaller syntype bears two dorsal spines and two ventral spines on the femur, three dorsal spines and two ventral spines on the patella, and one dorsal spine on the tarsus. The tibia and tarsus of antenniform leg I have 23 articles and 30 articles, respectively.

In addition to these specimens, the tube contains a detached pedipalp patella and tibia, with three dorsal spines and two ventral spines on the patella, and with two dorsal spines and one ventral spine on the tibia.

The immaturity and poor preservation of the syntypes renders it impossible to form an opinion regarding the taxonomic validity of C. jeanneli until such time as adults can be collected from the vicinity of the type locality. Delle Cave (1986) designated C. jeanneli as nomen dubium not Weygoldt (1994), as stated by Harvey (2003, 2013).
