Philoporatia junodi ; Lawrence 1965 . Poratophilus ( Philoporatia ) junodi ; Schubart 1966 . Zinophora junodi ; Demange 1983 ; Hamer 1998 . Type material (not examined): MOZAMBIQUE : ‘Shilowana, Rikatla, Afrique meridionale orientale’ ( Carl 1917 ). The whereabouts of the type material is not known . Material examined: MOZAMBIQUE : 1ơ, Xai Xai [2533AD], 1923 ( SAMC B6031 ). SOUTH AFRICA : Mpumalanga : 2ơ, Olifantspoort area [2431BA], xi.1963 , R. F. Lawrence ( NMSA 9009 ) . Diagnosis : Telopodite with one long, narrow and acutely produced femoral spine ( Fig. 106 ). Thumb narrow, curved in direction of pectinophore and apically acute ( Fig. 109 ). Posterior telocoxal folds formed into long, narrow, acutely triangular lobes, overlapping medially ( Figs 105, 110 ). Telocoxal spine narrow, long, cylindrical and overlapping spine from opposite telocoxite ( Fig. 110 ). Description: Dimensions : Males, n = 2. Body width 7.5, 8.1; collum width 5.5, 9.0; body length 88.0, 91.0; leg length 5.2; antenna length 5.0. Number of segments : 46, 49. Colour : Head orange with yellowish tinge. Clypeus and collum orange. Prozonites light yellow, mesozonites orange, and metazonites light brown along posterior margin. Pre-anal ring and anal valve yellow. Legs and antennae orange. First ozopore : Segment 6. Collum : One submarginal groove. Anterior corner moderately lobed. Gonopods : Telopodite with one long, narrow, acutely produced femoral spine ( Fig. 106 ) concealed by posterior telocoxal fold ( Fig. 105 ). Thumb narrow, curved in direction of pectinophore and apically acute. Second lamella a thin hyaline plate broadening apically, with tip curled away from other apical elements ( Figs 109, 111 ). Telocoxal spine narrow, long and overlapping spine from opposite gonopod ( Fig. 110 ). Posterior telocoxal folds formed into long, narrow, acute triangular lobes, overlapping medially ( Fig. 110 ). Pre-anal ring : Caudal spine long and upturned distally, extending well beyond anal valve. Distribution: This species occurs in the north-eastern parts of South Africa (Kruger National Park area) and along the Mozambique coast ( Fig. 2 ). There are also records from Zimbabwe , Umtali (Attems 1928), but these have not been confirmed. Remarks: The description of the gonopods presented here is based on NMSA material. The material examined from SAMC (B6031) had deteriorated and only the posterior half of a male specimen remained. There were no gonopods. There is a degree of variation in the form of the telocoxal spines; one of the specimens collected in the Olifantspoort area has a telocoxal spine with two teeth on the dorsal surface ( Fig. 107 ). c 115
