CRINOPSEUDOA LEIOTHORAX View in CoL SP. NOV.

( FIGS 55A–D View Figure 55 , 59G View Figure 59 , 61 View Figure 61 )

Type material: Holotype: male: GUINEA: Forêt Classée de Ziama , 08°24′N, 09°17′W, 14.vi.1998, rain forest, pitfalls, Flomo, D. ( MRAC 226409 View Materials ). GoogleMaps

Paratypes: All same data as holotype GoogleMaps : 1 ♀: 4.xi.1998 ( MRAC 217952 View Materials ) ; 1 ♂: 18.v.1998 ( MRAC 226410 View Materials ) ; 2 ♂: 5.v.1998 ( MRAC 226411 View Materials ) ; 1 ♀: 18.viii.1998 ( MRAC 226412 View Materials ) .

Diagnosis: Males of C. leiothorax are characterized by the retrolateral cymbial apophysis, the large conductor encircling the tegulum, and the thin, sclerotized, hook-shaped embolus. Females of C. leiothorax are recognized by the shape of the epigyne with frontal semicircular fold and shallow central depression; the oblong structures along the posterior margin do not show longitudinal stripes in transparency.

Etymology: The species name refers to the relatively smooth carapace (‘LEIOς’ = smooth in Greek).

Description: Male (holotype, MRAC 226409). Total l 4.50.

Carapace yellow-brown, covered by dispersed, tiny weak warts. Carapace l: 2.00; w: 1.80. Fovea deep, clearly delimited. Sternum smooth, l: 1.00; w: 1.10. Abdomen greyish brown, with a weak, yellow-brown dorsal scutum covering 15% of do abdominal surface area.

Legs yellow-brown, not warted.

Leg spination: fe: I pl 0-0-1 do 0-1-0; II do 0-1-0; III do 0-1-0; IV do 0-1-0; ti: I ve 2-2-2-2-2-2-2; II ve 2-2-2-2-2-2-2; III pl 0-1-1 ve 0-2-0; IV pl 0-1-1 rl 0-1-1 ve 0-2-0; mt: I ve 2-2-2-2; II ve 2-2-2-2; III pl 0-1-0 ve 2-0-2; IV pl 0-1-0 rl 0-1-0 ve 2-0-2.

Male palp ( Fig. 55A, B View Figure 55 ): RTA flattened, apically narrowed into a dorsally recurved hook at ve end of tip. PTA absent. FC very large, ribbon-shaped, encircling most of tegulum.

Embolus inserted centrally, long, thin, and hookshaped. Basal part of tegulum not enlarged but with flattened, trapezoidal CAPT covering base of FC; PAPT inconspicuous.

Female (paratype, MRAC 226412 View Materials ). Total l 4.65 .

Carapace as in male, l: 1.90; w: 1.65. Sternum smooth, l: 1.00; w: 1.10.

Abdomen greyish brown, without do scutum. Legs yellow-brown, not warted.

Epigyne ( Figs 55C, D View Figure 55 , 59G View Figure 59 ): with semicircular fold in front; internal structure visible in transparency. Copulatory openings near centre; copulatory ducts intricately wound, ending in widely separate spermathecae. Without lobate ducts.

Known geographical distribution: Guinea ( Fig. 61 View Figure 61 ).
