Description

Agyneta pogonophora (Locket, 1968) n. comb. (Figs. 28-30)

Meioneta pogonophora Locket, 1968: 71, f. 2A-C (Dm).

Meionetasp. Locket, 1968: 84, f. 13C(Df).

Material examined: Alphonse, 1m, 09.04.2001, J. Gerlach leg. (MZT AA 2.166), Poivre Atoll, 1f, USSR. Zool. Exped. leg. (ZMMU).

Diagnosis: The male of A. pogonophora is easily recognised by the tongue-like, laterally pointing apicodorsal tibial apophysis and the female by the small, protruding epigyne with strongly diverging lateral lobes.

Description: Female (male well described by Locket 1968): Small, dark, long legged species (TL = 1.33, CL = 0.57, CW = 0.43). Carapace dark, blackish brown; abdomen uniform greenish black; legs pale yellowish, strongly suffused with black. Epigyne small, protruding with strongly diverging lateral lobes.

Distribution: Previously known only from Angola (Locket, 1968). The first records of the species from Seychelles are from Alphonse and Poivre Atoll.
