Cambalida fagei (Caporiacco, 1939) Figures 74-78

Brachyphaea fagei Caporiacco, 1939: 356, fig. 17 comb. n.

Type material.

Holotype female. ETHIOPIA: Neghelli [Negele, 05°19'N, 39°35'E], leg. E. Zavattari, 30.III.1937, deposited in MZUF, type no. 118, mag no. 876 (examined).

Diagnosis.

Females of this species share with Cambalida deminuta the very large ST II and compact ST I, but can be distinguished from that species by the much larger copulatory openings (Figs 77, 78).

Remarks.

The holotype female is in very poor condition but the eye arrangement (Fig. 74) and abdominal sclerotisation (Figs 75, 76) are consistent with the placement of this species in Cambalida . No material other than the holotype could be found and it will not be redescribed here. The epigyne of the species is distinct, notably the very large ST II and compact ST I (Figs 77, 78), and it is clearly different to Cambalida fulvipes , which also occurs in Ethiopia.

Distribution.

Known from the type locality only (Fig. 79).

Biology.

Unknown.
