Distribution . BAHAMAS , South and East Bimini Islands, Stranger Cay, Fortune Island; June- August. Remark . Efferia vauriei is distinguished by the characters in the key and the combined characters of the terminalia (Fig. 43-45). It is further distinguished by the several long setae along the apical margin of sternite 8, the tooth-like process along the posterior margin of the epandrium [concealed in lateral view], and the dense orange-yellow setae on the inner surface of the gonocoxite. The seventh segment of the female is black with thin brown tomentum dorsally and black setae; at middle, the terminalia is about 1/ 9 as wide as long.
