description: PSEUDOCORINNA EVERTSI SP. NOV.  (FIGS 17A–E, 19, 38J)  
 Type material: Holotype: male: IVORY COAST: Bouaflé, 06°59′N, 05°45′W, i.1981, pitfall, riverine forest, Everts J. (MRAC 159546).   
Paratypes: IVORY COAST: 2 ♀: as holotype (MRAC 214291); 1 ♀: Mankono, Ranch de la Marahoué, 08°27′N, 06°52′W, i.1980, riverine forest, Everts J. (MRAC 172272); 1 ♂, 1 ♀: as previous, 3.x.1980 (MRAC 173975); 2 ♀: as previous, iii.1980, Everts J. (MRAC 173988); 2 ♀: Bouaflé, 06°59′N, 05°45′W, i.1981, pitfall, riverine forest, Everts J. (MRAC 214291).  
 Diagnosis: Males of P. evertsi are characterized by the broad parallel-sided, sinuous RTA, the long membranous MA, and the very large FC with bifid tip. Females are easily recognized by the epigyne with a large, oval, central concavity prolonged towards the sinuous posterior margin.   
 Etymology: The species name is a patronym in honour of James Everts, who made important spider collections in the Ivory Coast.

Male palp (Fig. 17A, B): RTA large, sinuous, parallel sided; PTA short, finger-shaped; embolus fairly small, curved, tapered gradually from broad knobbed base to thin distal part; proximal part of tegulum with large tooth-shaped PAPT and small tooth-shaped CAPT; large FC originating at base of embolus, very broad, divided into two fine prongs at tip; MA broad, transparent, curved around tip of FC.  
Female (paratype, MRAC 214291). Total l 6.10.  
Carapace as in male, l: 2.34; w: 1.93. Sternum warted, l: 1.15; w: 1.30. Abdomen greyish brown, without do scutum. Legs orange-brown, covered by fine warts.

Epigyne (Figs 17C–E, 38J): with large oval anterior depression prolonged backwards to small central recurved fold, on either side with dark area of spermathecae seen in transparency; posterior margin sinuous with central indentation. Copulatory ducts short, leading backward to large, globular, widely separated spermathecae. Without lobate ducts.  
 Known geographical distribution: Ivory Coast (Fig. 19).
