Type. Female holotype from South Africa, KwaZulu-Natal, St Lucia National Park, Fanies Camp (28 ° S, 32 ° 309E), 24 January 1991, coll. V . D. and B. Roth, CAS .

Etymology. The specific name is a noun in apposition referring to the type locality.

Diagnosis. Anyphops lucia n. sp. shares with A. lawrencei the presence of a prolateral and longitudinal pale band limited by two grey parallel lines on Fe IV, but the rest of the colour pattern of the body is different ( Figure 1g View Figure 1 ). The middle field of the epigynum as a depression is shared with A. lycosifomis and A. natalensis , but in A. lucia n. sp. it is larger and the lateral lobes of the epigynum are undistinguished ( Figure 1h View Figure 1 ); the copulatory ducts are long and cross above the spermathecae length as in Figure 1i View Figure 1 .

Female holotype. Total body length 7.73. Prosoma 3.21 length, 3.21 width. Eye sizes: AME 0.21, ALE 0.14, PME 0.26, PLE 0.28. Opisthosoma 4.05 length, 2.64 width. Leg formula 4321?. Leg spination: Fe II p1.1.1, d1.1.1, r0.1.1, IV p1.1.1, d1.1.1, r1.1.1; Tib II v2.2.2.2, IV p1.0.1, d0.1.0, v2.2.0, r1.0.1; Mt II v2.2.2, IV v2.2.2, r1.1.0. Prosoma redbrown with lateral dark grey irregular markings reaching to the lateral edges, as in Figure 1g View Figure 1 . Chelicerae red-brown with a wide longitudinal inner dark brown band. Legs orange-brown, mottled dark grey. Patellae II and IV with dark basal band and Fe IV with a prolateral and longitudinal pale line limited by grey parallel lines. Metatarsus IV with a dark terminal spot. Dorsum of opisthosoma whitish, dotted by grey irregular spots, lateral and posterior portion darker, as in Figure 1g View Figure 1 . Venter of the opisthosoma pale yellow-grey. Epigynum and internal structures as in Figure 1h, i View Figure 1 .
