Description
of both sexes in
Wesołowska & Cumming (2008)
.
Remarks.
The
syntypes
of
S. mundus
are identically with the
paratypes
of
T. hortensis
, only differing in missing the white streaks along the lateral slopes of carapace, probably the consequence of rubbing off these light hairs. The synonymy of the two species is proposed here.
Distribution.
Known only from
Zimbabwe
.
