Sphaeroparia attenuata Brolemann, 1920, Mount Kilimanjaro, Tanzania (Brole- mann 1920). Originally described as a subspecies of minuta (see below), but the differences noted by Brolemann (1920) between the two subspecies, especially those in the proportions and shapes of the various outgrowths of the gonopodal telopodites, allowed Mauriès and Heymer (1996) to correctly regard attenuata as a distinct species.
