Males of S. annulatus are easily identified by the following combination of characters: median apophysis of the male palp with transparent branch much higher than the sclerotized one and distinct shape of the tibial apophysis and of the tip of the conductor ( Figs. 7­8 ). S. annulatus resembles S. radiatus in having a lateral projection on the tegulum but in the latter species the projection is larger with a straight external margin. The females are distinguished by both the shape of the middle field and the spermathecae ( Figs. 4­5 ). S. annulatus females resemble S. intricatus in the shape of the middle field, but in S. intricatus it is more rhomboidal and longer than wide ( Fig. 32 ). Female. The female was described by Simon (1876) and redescribed by Benoit (1968) . The colour pattern of opisthosoma is shown in Fig. 6 and the epigynum and spermathecae in Figs. 4­5 . Male . The male was described by Lessert (1929) and redescribed by Benoit (1968) . Palp as in Figs. 7­8 . New Records. ANGOLA : Luanda , 1 female and 2 immatures, 22/VIII/49 , B.
