Fig. 10. Chumma tsitsikamma sp. nov. , holotype, ♂ A . Palp, ventral view. B . As preceding, retrolateral view. C . Palpal tibia, dorsal view. Scale bars: 0.2 mm. Female Unknown. Note It is not impossible that the females here described as C. bicolor sp. nov. belong to the same species. The difference in habitus and mainly the absence of black patches in C. tsitsikamma sp. nov. made us decide to keep them apart. Fig. 11. Chumma tsitsikamma sp. nov. , holotype, ♂. A .
