Abstract
Two new minute theridiid species are described from montane forests in Rwanda and Zaire and their genital morphology and relationships are d iscussed. P. milleri is the second species in this genus after the typ e species from Angola. R. calidus is the first afrotropical species in an otherwise holarctic genus. It is closely related to the western pa laearctic species R. neglectus (O.P.-Cambridge).
