Diagnosis.
Differs from congeners by the absence of a distal proplica spine, telopodite distally stout and with attached, large, plate-like lamellae.
Remark.
The gonopod structure of a topotype (Fig.
5
) agrees closely with the drawings presented by
Spelda (1993)
.
This species seems to be restricted to
Sao
Tome
Island.
