Figure 29. Chimarra intexta Mosely, genitalia A lateral B dorsal, segments IX and X C inferior appendage, ventral D inferior appendage, dorsal E inferior appendage, caudal F phallus, lateral. Diagnosis. Chimarra intexta is most readily diagnosed from other species of the subgroup by the shape and form of the lateral lobes of tergum X, which are short, weakly sclerotized, and have the out-turned lateral apices only weakly angulate, and also by the general form of the inferior appendages, which have the dorsal process strongly mesally curved, elongate, and acute apically, and also have a small tooth or cusp on the ventromesal surface, visible in lateral view. Distribution. Ghana, Guinea, Ivory Coast, Sierra-Leone.
