( Figure 3a–e ; Map 1 ) Type. Female holotype and two male paratypes from South Africa , Ngome State forest (27 ° 499S, 31 ° 269E), open forest, 8–19 September 1992 , coll. M. van den Merwe , NCA 93/43 . Diagnosis. The colour pattern of the body ( Figure 3a ) is typical for this species and it is similar, in part, to that of A. lycosiformis . The shape of the median apophysis ( Figure 3e ), and the narrow and short vRTA of the palp of the male ( Figure 3d ), are characteristic of this species. The shape of the epigynum with a sub-triangular and small middle field ( Figure 3b ), and the heavy copulatory ducts and spermathecae ( Figure 3c ) distinguish A. ngome from other species of Anyphops . Figure 3. (a–e) Anyphops ngome n. sp.
