Mashonarus brandbergensis is a
The species was moved to Stenaelurillus by Dmitri Logunov and Galina N. Azarkina in 2018.
Description
The spider is medium-sized and generally similar to
The female is similar to the male in shape but slightly larger. It has an cephalothorax 1.9 to 2.0 mm (0.075 to 0.079 in) long and 1.4 to 2.1 mm (0.055 to 0.083 in) wide and an abdomen that is between 1.8 and 2.9 in (46 and 74 mm) long and 1.4 to 2.2 mm (0.055 to 0.087 in) wide. The colouring is similar. The epigyne is small with lateral copulatory openings and very short insemination ducts.[10] Apart from the striped pattern, it is the very short insemination ducts that most distinguish the species from Stenaelurillus guttatus.[11]
Distribution
The species was first identified in the area around the Brandberg Mountain in Namibia.[12] It is endemic to the country.[13]
