Male holotype from Cameroon, West Region, near Mbouda, Bamboutos (5°'N, I0°'E), 2100 m , among rocks, ( Huber) in ZFMK. Etymology. The specific name is a noun in apposition, derived from the type locality. Diagnosis. Distinguished from congeners by mor- phology of male palp (Figs. 941, 942; shapes of procursus, uncus, appendix) and female genitalia (Figs. 919, 943). Male (holotype). Total body length , carapace width Leg 1: ( + + + + ), tibia 2: , tibia 3: , tibia 4: ; tibia 1 L/d: 76. Habitus as in Figs. 892 and 893. Carapace pale ochre with large brown median mark including ocu- lar area, clypeus light, sternum light, slightly darker medially and on labium, legs pale ochre with numer- ous brown rings (-5 on each femur and tibia, pa- tella also dark), abdomen ochre-gray with many black and some white spots dorsally and laterally, ventrally only genital area slightly darker (c£ female, Fig. 894). Distance PME-PME 325 pm, diameter PME 115 pm, distance PME-ALE 55 pm, distance AME-AME 45 pm, diameter AME 80 pm. Ocular area elevated, with brush of stronger hairs on posterior side. No thoracic furrow; clypeus unmodified. Chelicerae similar to Ph. kakum (cf fig. 103 in Huber 2009b), but larger (490 pm wide), frontal apophyses in lat- eral view more rounded and less distinct, and lateral apophyses relatively smaller. Sternum wider than long (), unmodified. Palps as in Fig
