description: <i>Saraina rubrofasciata</i> Wanless &amp; Clark, 1975 Figs 19-29 <i>S. rubrofasciata</i> Wanless and Clark, 1975: 289, f. 23-26 (Df). <b>Type material.</b> Holotype: &amp;female;, IVORY COAST, Bingerville, 5°21’N, 3°53’W, I.1964, J. Decelle (MRAC 126105). <b>Other material examined.</b> IVORY COAST: 1&amp;male;, Bingerville, 5°21’N, 3°53’W, I.1964, J. Decelle (MRAC 126108), 1&amp;female;, Appouesso, FC Bossematié, 4°16’S, 15°17’E, forest, pitfall, station 1D, 29.I.1995, R. Jocqué and Tanoh (MRAC 203686). <b>Diagnosis.</b> Males can be easily separated from those of <i>S. deltshevi</i> by the presence of a dorsal bump on the medial tibial apophysis (Fig. 23, arrowed). From <i>S. kindamba</i>, they can be distinguished by the longer ventral and shorter medial tibial apophysis (Fig. 19, arrows 1 and 2), also by the shape of the retrolateral bump of the tegulum, especially on its dorsal part (Fig. 21, arrow). The females differ from those of <i>S. kindamba</i> in having shorter insemination ducts (Fig. 26). <b>Description.</b> Male: Measurements: Cephalothorax: length 2.40, width 1.90, height at PLE 1.45.
