Figs 33–39 Etymology: This species is named in honour of Dr Ansie Dippenaar-Schoeman for her significant contributions to African arachnology and her assistance to my studies on African Sparassidae ; noun in a genitive case. Diagnosis: This is the only Pseudomicrommata species with a generally elongated epigyne; the enlarged epigynal pockets (EP) occupy the majority of the epigynal field (EF) space, which is unique amongst the currently known species ( Figs 33 , 38 ). Male unknown. Description: Female (ranges: n=4, single measurements: holotype ). Measurements ( Holotype largest): Medium sized; total length 11.4–13.2, prosoma length 4.8–5.5, prosoma width 4.1–4.7, anterior width of prosoma 2.4–2.6, opisthosoma length 6.6–7.7, opisthosoma width 3.5–4.5. Eye diameters:AME 0.21, ALE 0.43, PME 0.36, PLE 0.35; eye interdistances: AME–AME 0.20, AME–ALE 0.06, PME–PME 0.42, PME–PLE 0.32, AME–PME 0.71, ALE–PLE 0.36, clypeus AME 0.20, clypeus ALE 0.28. Chelicerae : Chelicerae with 2 anterior and 4 posterior teeth (two larger and two smaller ones) ( Fig. 37 ). Legs : Leg formula: IV II I III. Measurements of palp and legs. Palp 6.4 [1.4, 0.7, 1.1, 2.2], I 17.4 [5.1, 2.5, 4.1, 4.2, 1.5], II 18.2 [5.6, 2.4, 4.4, 4.3, 1.5], III 16.2 [5.2, 2.1, 3.8, 3.7, 1.4], IV 18.4 [5.6, 2.1, 4.4, 4.8, 1.5]. Spination : Palp 131, 101, 2121, 1013; Legs: Femur I–III 323, IV 321; Patella I–IV 000/101; Tibia I–IV 1016 /2026; Metatarsus I–III 0004/1014/2024, IV 3036. Epigyne/vulva :As in diagnosis, with generally enlarged and elongated EF, posterior part of LL behind PMP small ( Figs 33 , 38 ); CD enlarged and expanded, partially covering fTLs; sTL usually extend beyond fTL laterally ( Figs 34 , 39 ), GPO present only on fTLs ( Figs 34, 35 ). Holotype ♀ : CAMEROON : North Prov. : Bossoum , 09°56'33"N 13°41'51"E , 11.iv.1914 , leg. G. Tessmann ( ZMB 48632 ). Paratypes : CAMEROON : Same data as holotype, 2♀ ( ZMB 48633 ), 1♀ ( SMF ) . Remarks: The type material for this study was collected by the German botanist G. Tessmann (1884–1969) during his expedition to Cameroon in 1914. Known geographical distribution: Only known from the type locality ( Fig. 40 ).
