Selenops mumai Corronca 1996b, p 395 .

Diagnosis. The vRTA shorter than dorsal is shared by A. mumai , A. ngome and A. natalensis , but in the former species the median apophysis is simple and narrow ( Figure 2e ) and the embolus is longer than in the rest of the species of this Anyphops species group, and goes almost all the way around the bulb ( Figure 2d, e ).

Male holotype. Total body length 4.05. Prosoma 1.79 length, 1.98 width. Eye sizes: AME 0.12, ALE 0.09, PME 0.14, PLE 0.19. Opisthosoma 2.17 length, 1.32 width. Leg formula 4321. Leg spination: Fe I and III p1.1.1, d1.1.1, r1.1.1, Fe II and IV p1.0.1, d1.1.1, r1.1.1; Pat I –IV d0.1; Tib I –II d0.0.1, v2.2.2.2, III d0.0.1, v2.2.0, r1.0.0, IV p1.0.1, d0.0.1, v2.2.0, r1.0.1; Mt I –IV v2.2.2 and IV also d1.0.0. Prosoma pale orange-brown with reticulated lateral dark grey markings, darker at lateral edges as in Figure 2f . Chelicerae orange-brown with a dark longitudinal marking, darker at the tip. Legs yellow-brown without markings except for a pale grey dorsal line on the coxae. Dorsum of opisthosoma yellowish, dotted by pale grey; posterior portion of the opisthosoma dark behind a wide white transversal band, as in Figure 2f . Venter pale yellow-grey.

Variation. Total body length: 4.28¡0.25 (n 53).
