Type in the Joicey collection. 



I have a fair series from Angola, and they are of a decidedly 

 greyer shade of colour than those from the eastern and 

 southern localities. 



Genitalia. Harpagines very long and very narrow, the base being 

 rather wider than the long arm and tapering down rapidly, the 

 apical extremity for a fifth slightly reduced in width and very 

 slightly excavated, terminating in a fair-sized knob; a plentiful 

 supply of bristles at the apical end, reducing rapidly in number 

 towards the middle, where they almost cease ; anellus hood-shajjed, 

 very weakly developed ; aedoeagus narrow, very long and simple, 

 with a small vesica well shagreened and armed with fine teeth; 

 this is the only instance where the vesica shows any armature, 

 ordinarily it is of the simplest possible structure; cingulum angled 

 near the base, of moderate length and dimensions ; tegumen ridge- 

 shaped, with smallish cheeks having fine bi-istles; falces short (for 

 the genus) and thick. 



Androconia very broad, pomegranate-shaped, but raised in the 

 centre distally (not depressed), with a strong broad attachment stalk, 

 there are fourteen to fifteen rows of reticulations placed moderately 

 well apart, whose sculpturing is close together.
