Arrenurus (Arrenurus) chappuisi Walter, 1922

New records. Ghana. 3/0/0, Inlet Volta River at Kpong, 6°09.183′ N 0°03.709′ E, 25 m a.s.l.,

27 Feb. 2013.

Remarks. Arrenurus chappuisi is close to A. okavango Smit, 2012 . I separated the two species based on the presence or absence of a two-lobed dorsal shield, and in lateral view the petiole is straight or upturned. With new material available of A. chappuisi , the slender idiosoma, and the more slender and longer petiole (both characters in dorsal view), are better characters to separate these two species

Distribution. Sudan, Congo ( Bader 1968), Ghana (this study).
