Abstract

An adult male of Anoploscelus lesserti Laurent, 1946 from Burundi, deposited in the Royal Museum for Central Africa (RMCA) with a regenerated right chelicera is illustrated and discussed. Simultaneously, this constitutes the first record of the genus Anoploscelus Pocock, 1897 for Burundi.
