Males from Centre Region and Littoral Region show additional slight differences and are therefore assigned tentatively: shapes of ventro-distal apophyses on procursus slightly different (retrolateral apophysis shorter and less pointed; prolateral apophysis longer); dorso-distal sclerotized part of procursus either stronger (Yaoundé area) or less developed (Koukoué); prolateral ridges of procursus fewer but stronger in males from Yaoundé area; modified hairs near median line of male chelicerae more widely spaced in males from Yaoundé area; entire procursus either slightly more slender (Koukoué) or shorter (“Ercalera”); cheliceral apophyses more slender in males from Yaoundé area.
