Ovigers typical, third segment slightly elongate, fourth about 0,74 length offifth, which has distal apophysis and row of six or seven ectal setae. Strigilis seg-ments increasingly shorter distally, armed with monomorphic denticulate spinesin the formula 12 : 11 : 11 : 12. Spines bear one or two broad proximolateralteeth and finely serrate distolateral edges. Distal spines longer than proximalspines. Legs missing. Female. Trunk and appendages slightly larger than male, oviger fifthsegment shorter, without distal apophysis. THE SOUTH AFRICAN MUSEUMS MEIRING NAUDE CRUISES 139. Fig. 4. Callipallene africana sp. nov. A-D. Holotype, male. A. Trunk, dorsal view. B. Trunk, lateral view. C. Oviger, with enlargements of proximal and distal denticulate spines. D. Chela. E. Paratype, female. Third leg, distal segments. Legs elongate, armed with very few setae not as long as segment and first tibia equal in length, second tibia about 0,2 longer. Propodusvery slightly curved, without heel, armed with five or six heel spines arranged intwo rows, many shorter sole spines flanked by row of short lateral setae. Clawmoderately slender, slightly curved, auxiliaries about 0,6 main claw length. Measurements (in mm) Holotype, male: trunk length 2,22; trunk width, 0,92; proboscis length, 0,7;abdomen length, 0,23.
