Abstract: Pisenor selindanus (Benoit, 1965) species inquirenda (Fig. 15) Urothele selindana Benoit, 1965: 37, fig. 3 (description ♀ juvenile). Pisenor selindanus – Raven 1985: 112. TYPE MATERIAL. — Holotype. Zimbabwe • ♀ juvenile; Selinda, Mount Selinda; [19°14’S, 32°14’E]; VII.1960; N. Leleup leg.; forêt ombrophile de Chirinda, dans I’humus; alt. 1250 et 1300 m; BE_RMCA_ARA. Ara.116120. REMARK Benoit (1965) considered the type of P. selindanus to be an adult female. However, after examination of specimens and dissection of the genital area, we did not find any developed spermatheca (Fig. 14E), demonstrating that this specimen is a juvenile. For this reason, P. selindanus is herein considered as species inquirenda. DISTRIBUTION. — Zimbabwe.
