Remarks An apparently new species of Apochinommacollected only from fynbos habitats in the De Hoop Nature Reserve in southern South Africawas discovered ( Figure 16). This species has very distinctive white abdominal markings, notably a transverse anterior band, a median X-shaped marking and posterior ring ( Figures 1E, 2J, 3I). One of the specimens, a subadult female, measured 6.3 mmin total length, and it is therefore likely that the adult female will only be marginally larger, probably less than 8.0 mm in length. This species will not be formally described until adults have been discovered. Based on the carapace shape and relatively elongate abdomen, this species clearly belongs to the A. deceptaspecies group.
