Material examined

IVORY COAST • 2 ♂♂; Lamto ; 6°13′ N, 5°01′ W; 11 Sep. 1975; “savane brulée, aux environs de la station, sur branches”; MNHN • 1 ♂, 1 ♀; same collection data as for preceding; 26 Aug. 1975; MNHN .

Description

See Wesołowska & Edwards (2012). General appearance of female as in Fig. 48E . Male similar to female or slightly darker coloured ( Fig. 48A ). This species shows a similar body colouration to the widely distributed Phintella aequipes ( Peckham & Peckham, 1903) (compare Fig. 48A, E with Wesołowska & Cumming 2008: fig. 118) but is easily distinguished by the structure of genital organs, which are shown in Fig. 48B–D (male) and 48F–G (female).

Distribution

This species was known hitherto only from SE Nigeria.
