Description

See Wesołowska & Edwards (2012). General appearance of female as in Fig. 48E. Male similar to female or slightly darker coloured (Fig. 48A). This species shows a similar body colouration to the widely distributed Phintella aequipes (Peckham & Peckham, 1903) (compare Fig. 48A, E with Wesołowska & Cumming 2008: fig. 118) but is easily distinguished by the structure of genital organs, which are shown in Fig. 48B–D (male) and 48F–G (female).

Distribution

This species was known hitherto only from SE Nigeria.
