Material examined. Holotype: ♀, SOLOMON ISLANDS, Central Malaita Island: March – April 1930, Ac.30985, Whitney So Sea Expedition ( AMNH).
Diagnosis. Mallinella axillocrina sp. nov. is easily distinguished from other members of the zebra -group by the presence of large gland pores on the dorsal side of spermathecae and by two large apical coils.
Etymology. The specific epithet is a combination of axilla (Latin: armpit; angle) and ĸplvω (Greek: to secrete, to exude). The specific epithet refers to easily recognized secretory gland pores in dorsal view.

Eye sizes and interdistances: AME 0.26, ALE 0.16, PME 0.18, PLE 0.18, AME–AME 0.10, AME–ALE 0.16, PME–PME 0.12, PME–PLE 0.40; MOQ: 0.60 long, 0.50 anterior width, 0.49 posterior width.Leg measurements: I 9.64 (2.63, 3.50, 2.00, 1.48), II 8.24 (2.20, 3.00, 1.75, 1.32), III 6.98 (2.02, 1.98, 21.76, 1.24), IV 10.68 (2.80, 3.34, 3.00, 1.96).
