Sternodromia monodi (Forest & Guinot, 1966) View in CoL

In S. monodi the sternal plate is roughly similar to that of S. spinirostris , but in S. monodi the tubercle surrounding the extremities of the two slits is absent, and sternite 4 and epsisternites 4, 5 have a different shape; additionally, the subterminal slits are shorter in S. monodi .

– Immature female 20.3 × 23.5 mm, Senegambia, Calypso (MNHN-B 7841), with gonopores on the P3 coxae not yet perforated. Sutures 7/8 are shorter, ending behind the level of the episternite 5 only. The bulb of the spermatheca is very small. The tube is narrow but quite distinct, and the subterminal slit is not yet opened.

– Male 58 × 71 mm, Congo, off Pointe-Noire, A. Crosnier coll. (MNHN-B 7883). There is no chamber between the two adjacent sheets, no distinct basal thickening; the tube is absent.
