Balogh( HNHM Araneae-684).    Diagnosis.Males can be easily separated from those of  S. rubrofasciataby the shorter ventral and the longer medial tibial apophyses ( Fig. 9, arrows 1 and 2), and also by the shape of the retrolateral bump of the tegulum, especially in its dorsal part ( Fig. 11, arrow). From  S. deltshevi sp. n., it can be separated by the presence of a dorsal bump on the medial tibial apophysis ( Fig. 12, arrow). Females can easily be distinguished from  S. rubrofasciataby the longer insemination ducts ( Fig. 17).    Etymology.The species is named after the type locality of the holotype, Kindamba, Republic of Congo. Noun in apposition.    Description.Male: Measurements: Cephalothorax: length 2.30, width 1.80, height at PLE 1.35. Ocular area: length 1.30, width anteriorly 1.80, width posteriorly 1.65.

Chelicerae with 4 teeth with one exception – left chelicerae of holotypewith 5 promarginal teeth, right with 4 promarginal teeth ( Fig. 14). Palpal structure as in Figs 9-12, 15. Female:Measurements:Cephalothorax:length3.00, width 2.30, height at PLE 1.50. Ocular area:length 1.40, width anteriorly2.00, width posteriorly 1.80.

Structure of epigyne and spermathecae as in Figs 16-18(compare with Fig. 6, A-C in Szüts and Scharff 2005which looks quite different).    Distribution.Known only from the Republic of Congo.    Remarks.The material from the Kindamba locality ( Republic of Congo) contains three samples – two males from different species and a single female. It has been difficult to decide which species the female belong to, as the body colouration of all three species is very similar. I have provisionally assigned it to  S. kindamba sp. n.More material of both sexes is needed to resolve this problem in the future. 2608993605 1963-10-30 HNHM J.
