Graptartia mutillica Haddad, 2004: 76, figs 2, 5, 8, 11, 13, 24‒28 ( Holotype ♀: SOUTH AFRICA: Deelhoekfarm, Bloemfontein district, 28°54'S, 26°07'E, 1250 m, leg. C.R. Haddad, under old oil drum, 12.I.2001, NMBA 9451—not examined). Justification for transfer.Judging from the original description and illustrations of G. mutillica( Haddad, 2004), this species would be better placed in Coenoptychusthan in Graptartia: male smaller and less robust than female, recurved PER, abdomen and legs with feathery setae, promargin of chelicerae with three teeth, round spermathecae II and reniform spermathecae I, lack of palpal RTA, and spiralled embolus with 2.5 turns ( Haddad 2004: figs 2, 8, 11, 13, 24‒28). All these indicate that this species is misplaced in Graptartiaand its transfer to Coenoptychusis hereby proposed.
Distribution. Ethiopia, Ivory Coast, SouthAfrica, Tanzania( Fig. 5).
