Abstract

Cylindroiulus mitta n.sp. is described from Cap Bon, northeastern Tunisia, and its assignment to the North African C. distinctus group is discussed. Descriptions of the female vulvae of other group members are presented, as well as illustrations of gonopods and vulvae of further Cylindroiulus species from Tunisia.
