Paratype: D.R.C., Ruwenzori, ruiss. Karambura affl. dr. Katauleko, près de Kalonge, 00 ° 209N, 029 ° 489E, Jan. 30, 1953, elev. 2060 m, same collectors (PBI_OON 33278, MRAC 230.065), 1 male.

ETYMOLOGY: Named after the author’s brother, Mark Fannes.

DIAGNOSIS: Males resemble those of Z. swammerdami but have slightly longer medi- an projections (fig. 66C–F) and slightly larger P2 and P3 projections (figs. 66C, E, 67A, C). Females can be recognized by the tongueshaped epigastric scape (figs. 72B, 75E, F).

MALE (figs. 65–71): TL 1.40. Habitus as in figure 65A. Carapace without stripes. Six eyes; ALE less than one diameter apart; PME oval, touching or almost touching; PLE round to oval, well separated from PME. Endites as in Z. swammerdami but median projection slightly longer, needlelike (fig. 66C–F) and P2 and P3 slightly larger (figs. 66C, E, 67A, C). Booklung covers relatively small. Ventral lip not constricted (fig. 68E). DS long, covering almost entire dorsum, fused to ES (fig. 68A). PES fused to ES, forming single ventral scutum that covers nearly full length of abdomen (fig. 68B). PLS with two spigots.

FEMALE (figs. 72–77): TL 1.31. Habitus as in figure 73A. Carapace without stripes. Eyes as in male. Booklung covers relatively small. Ventral lip not constricted (fig. 75C). DS long, covering almost entire dorsum (fig. 75A). PES long, most of ventral abdomen covered (fig. 75B). Epigastric scape tongue shaped (figs. 72B, 75E, F). Internal genitalia as in figures 76, 77. Genital pouch present (figs. 76B, 77A, B). Distal part of genital duct highly coiled (figs. 76D, F, 77E).
