Figs 10–15, 18–19, 52–82, 200
Aelurillus jocquei Azarkina, Wesołowska & Russell-Smith, 2011 in Wesołowska & Russell-Smith, 2011: 557, figs 7–13, 215–216; ♀ holotype from BMNH, not examined.
Diagnosis
Manzuma jocquei is most similar in body coloration to M. lympha, M. nigritibia and M. tanzanica. The males can be distinguished from M. tanzanica by the well developed apical projection (ApP) (poorly developed in M. tanzanica) (cf. Figs 57–58, 64 and 190, 192 correspondingly). From M. lympha is can be distinguished by more robust ApP pointed dorsally in M. jocquei (Figs 55, 64) while in M. lympha ApP smaller in size and pointed ventrally (Fig. 111). From M. nigritibia it can be distinguished by the coloration of the clypeus and cheeks. The upper half of the cheeks under ALEs are covered with short brown scales and the basal half of the cheeks are covered with long white hairs (Figs 75–77) while in M. nigritibia the clypeus has a diamond-shaped patch of brown hairs between AME and on the upper half of clypeus, the cheeks are covered with long white hairs from ALEs to margin of carapace (Figs 145, 147). The females cannot be distinguished from M. lympha and M. nigritibia but can be distinguished from M. botswana gen. et sp. nov. and M. petroae gen. et sp. nov. by the absence of white stripes of scales running from the outer rim of AME’s to the lateral sides of carapace (cf. Figs 82, 129, 152, 44 and 180 correspondingly).

Comments
The female from Central African Republic is provisionally assigned to Manzuma jocquei gen. et comb.nov. This female seems to belong to another, undescribed Manzuma species occurring in Central Africa. Males collected together with the females from Central Africa are required to resolve this problem.
