Phintella jucunda sp. nov. urn:lsid:zoobank.org:act: 2DF37691-04DC-453F-B251-CCE420CBD122 Fig. 60 Diagnosis This species has a similar epigyne to that in Phintella globosa Wesołowska & Russell-Smith, 2022 but differs by the clearly wider copulatory ducts. Etymology The specific name is Latin, meaning ‘delightful’ and it refers to the beautiful colouration of the spider. Material examined Holotype UGANDA • ♀; Entebbe; Apr. 1999; FSCA. Description Male Unknown. Female General appearance as in Fig. 60A. MEASUREMENTS. Cephalothorax length 2.3, width 1.9, height 0.8. Eye field length 1.1, anterior and posterior width 1.5. Abdomen length 3.2, width 2.1. CARAPACE. Oval, widest at coxae of legs III, medium height, brownish with black rings surrounded eyes. Eyes on first row encircled by small white scales. Brown hairs form triangular drawings on thoracic part, white hairs and sparse brown bristles on eye field, white streak composed of hairs along lateral and posterior slopes, dark line on carapace border. Sternum and mouthparts yellow, clypeus with mat of white hairs. Chelicerae unidentati, teeth very small. ABDOMEN. Ovoid, along sides white streaks framed by brown lines, composed of hairs, dorsum yellow with two pairs of brown patches and light median streak. Venter yellowish with two lines formed by dark dots.
