Leleup ) ( MRAC 127.745 ) . ETYMOLOGY: The species is named centralis because it was collected in the central part of Congo , the so­called cuvette centrale . DIAGNOSIS: Females are easily recognized by the simple epigyne combined with very complex, heavily looped IDs almost completely hiding the ST from view. MALE: Unknown. FEMALE: Measurements. Total length 2.59; carapace 1.13 long, 0.92 wide; length of fe: I 0.95, II?, III 0.78, IV 1.13. Leg spination. Fe: I rv 2–3; IV plt 0 rlt 1; ti: I, II vsp 6; mt: III plt 1 vt 0 rlt 0; IV plt 1 vt 2 rlt 1. Coloration. Carapace and legs yellow, chelicerae and sternum pale yellow. Abdomen peach, without pattern, rather densely covered with thin, pointed grey setae. Genitalia. Epigyne restricted to two hemicircular ID entrances, situated anterior to ST and close to symmetry axis (fig. 27c). Vulva: first stretch of ID wide, thick walled, and associated with gland, connected to ST1 through complex sequence of horseshoe loops and coils, 2 Χ passing along dorsal side of ST1 DISTRIBUTION: Known only from the type locality.
