ETYMOLOGY: Named after the English naturalist Thomas Moffett (1553–1604), who wrote extensively on insects and spiders.
DIAGNOSIS: Females resemble those of
Z. clandestinus
but have a shorter epigastric scape (figs. 8G, 13B, C, 105B).
MALE: Unknown.
FEMALE (figs. 8–13, 105B): TL 1.40. Habitus as in figure 8A, B. Carapace microsculpture very shallow. Two small, round to oval eyes, less than one diameter apart (fig. 10B). Prongs as in figure 10C–F. Abdomen elongated ovoid. Booklung covers medium sized. Ventral lip as in figure 12A–C, with ridges weakly developed. DS small, ovoid, covering only 1/4 of abdomen length (fig. 8B). PES short, leaving more than half of ventral abdomen uncovered (fig. 8E). Lateral apodemes of medium length. Epigas- tric scape relatively short, with a small opening in the ventral surface (fig. 13B, C). Internal genitalia as in figure 13D–F. Genital pouch present (fig. 13D, E). Genital duct with apparently only one or two coils (fig. 13D–F).
OTHER MATERIAL EXAMINED: None.
DISTRIBUTION: Known only from the
type
locality in the
Kivu region
, D.R.C. (map 1).
