Langelurillus pusillus Haddad, Wiśniewski & Wesołowska, 2024, sp. nov.

Langelurillus pusillus sp. nov. Fig. 28 Diagnosis. The male is closely related to that of Langelurillus minutus, but it differs by the location of the smaller retrolateral tibial apophysis, which is placed more dorsally than in L. minutus (compare Fig. 28D with Fig. 26B). It also resembles L. alius sp. nov. but can be distinguished by the dorsal retrolateral tibial apophysis being thinner than the ventral apophysis, while the converse is true for L. alius sp. nov. (compare Fig. 28D with Fig. 23C). Female unknown. Etymology. The specific name is Latin, meaning “small”, and refers to the diminutive size of this species. Type material. Holotype: ♂, MOZAMBIQUE: Maputo: near Marracuene, Blue Anchor Inn, 25°35.124’S, 32°39.568’E, sifting leaf litter, savanna, 28.X.2007, leg. C. Haddad & R. Fourie (NCA 2020 /184). Description.
