, differing mainly in its posteriorly less strongly expanded scapes. The variation in the number of funicle segments in this species is remarkable but without any apparent pattern. In the series from Kleinriviersberg near Hermanus, two males and one female have 6-segmented funicles but one female only 4-segmented ones, and one male and one female of the series from Hermanus have 5- segmented ones.
