Selenops ansieae sp. nov. (Figs. 9­11)

Type. Female holotype from South Africa, Northern Province, Vygeboompoort, Waterberg District (23°11´S 30°25´E), G.P.F. van Dam Col., 23/X/13, deposited in TM 8823 (2344).

Etymology. The specific epithet is a patronym in honor of Dr Ansie Dippenaar­Schoeman for her contribution to the knowledge of African spiders.

Diagnosis. The females of S. ansieae are identified by the unique shape of the middle field of the epigynum and the spermathecae (Figs. 9­10). It resembles S. ilcuria sp. nov. (Figs. 29­31) in the shape of the depression on the epigynum, but the lateral lobes differ and the lateral sides of the depression are more straight in S. ilcuria than in S. ansieae .
