Males of Yoruba toubensis sp. nov. are distinguished from those of Y. ibadanus sp. nov. by the palp with a laminate embolus, without folds (screw-shaped in Y. ibadanus sp. nov. ) and the ventral tibial apophysis pointing retrolaterally in ventral view (straight in Y. ibadanus sp. nov. ) ( Figs 60A, D ); females differ from Y. ibadanus sp. nov. by the epigyne lacking an epigynal scape (present in Y. ibadanus sp. nov. ), copulatory openings with anterior part sclerotized, forming a hood ( Figs 60E, F ). Description. Male ( holotype ). Total length: 2.37. Carapace 0.90 long, 0.61 wide; Abdomen 1.26 long, 0.70 wide; Sternum 0.67 long, 0.49 wide; Spinnerets: ALS 0.19 long, 0.12 wide.

Leg spination: I—femur d1-1-0. II—femur d1-1-0. III—femur d1-1-0; tibia and metatarsus probably with spines, but not visible. IV—femur 1-1-0; tibia v1-1-2, r1-0-1, p1-0-0; metatarsus v0-0-1, p0-0-1. Palp: RTA tapered and directed apically; embolus arising at 8 o’clock position; conductor arising close to center of tegulum ( Figs 60 A–D). Female. ( Paratype ). Total length: 2.56.

IV—femur 1-1-0; tibia v1p-2-2, r1-0-1, p1-0-1; metatarsus v1-0-1, r0-1-0, p0-0-1. Vulva: copulatory ducts slightly diverging from one another; primary spermathecae ovoid ( Fig. 60F, G ).
