Remarks. The specimen from Botswana examined here possesses paramedian sutures on the posterior half of T1, noted as distinctive for this species by Attems (1928b) and Schileyko and Stagl (2004). The coxopleural pore field has the narrow, oval shape depicted by Kraepelin (1903: fig. 135), terminating at the posterior margin of the sternite of the ultimate leg-bearing segment; the coxopleural process is narrow and conical, bearing two apical spines and a small lateral spine.
