Stenaelurillus latibulbis

The spider is medium-sized. The male has a cephalothorax that measures between 2.7 and 3.0 mm (0.11 and 0.12 in) in length and between 2.2 and 2.3 mm (0.087 and 0.091 in) in width. The dark brown pear-shaped carapace has a scattering of white hairs. The abdomen is black, between 1.9 and 2.3 mm (0.075 and 0.091 in) long and 1.8 and 1.9 mm (0.071 and 0.075 in) wide, and also has patches of white hairs. eye field is black and is surrounded by long brown bristles.^[7] The spinnerets are long and black, and the legs are brown. The pedipalps are also brown and hairy.^[8] It can be distinguished from other members of the genus by its wide and relatively short palpal bulb, and the fact that the embolus is almost completely hidden.^[7]

The female is very similar to the male in colouration and shape. It has a smaller cephalothorax between 2.6 and 2.7 mm (0.10 and 0.11 in) long and 1.8 and 1.9 mm (0.071 and 0.075 in) wide and a larger abdomen between 2.6 and 3.4 in (66 and 86 mm) long and 2.2 and 2.8 mm (0.087 and 0.110 in) wide.^[7] The carapace is also pear-shaped and dark brown, but has two white streaks that extend from the front to back.^[9] The abdomen has a wide white marking in the shape of a triangle and two white patches on the rear half. The spinnerets are brown-yellow.^[10] The epigyne is small, with large copulatory openings.^[11] The epigyne distinguishes the species from the otherwise similar Stenaelurillus kavango, particularly its shorter insemination ducts and round spermathecae.^[12]

The species was first identified in Democratic Republic of the Congo based on examples found in Katanga Province in 1974.^[7] It was also found in Luambe National Park in Zambia.^[13] It prefers to live in savanna.^[7]
