Material examined

BURUNDI: 1 ♂, Kibira National Park, Rwegura, Mt. Musumba, 02.86°S 29.50°E, site 7, tea plantation, 10 Dec. 2008, 2100 m, B. Nzigidahera (MRAC 226772) .

Remarks

The specimen was compared to the holotype from Cameroon (MRAC 202728) and to the specimens from two localities in Kenya (MRAC 111873, MRAC 112015), that were attributed to the same species by Bosmans & Bosselaers (1994). Reexamination confirms the close resemblance between all these specimens in which the males are characterized by the shape of the paracymbium. This sclerite has a very typical comma shaped bald retrolateral area. The cheliceral dentition of the specimens is virtually identical. The Burundian specimen has a slightly different colouration in the sense that it is paler and less orange than the other specimens. The presently known distribution is shown in Fig. 6.
