Jumping spiders from Mkomazi Game Reserve in Tanzania (Araneae Salticidae)

Sixty-nine species are reported (two of them determined only at the generic level and one juvenile specimen which probably belongs to a new, unknown g enus). Thirty-Eve species are described as new: Afrobeata magnifica n. sp., Evarcha bihastata n. sp., E. elegans n. sp., E. similis n. sp., Habrocestu m tanzanicum n. sp., Heliophanus pygmaeus n. sp., Hyllus ramadanii n. sp., H. rotundithorax n. sp., Kima atra n. sp., Langelurillus alboguttatus n. sp ., L. difficilis n. sp., L. furcatus n. sp., L. manifestus n. sp., Langona improcera n. sp., Lilliput minutus n. sp., L. mkomazienzis n. sp., L. Pusil lus n. sp., Neaetha irreperta n. sp., Pellenes cingulatus n. sp., P. modicu s n. sp., Phintella incerta n. sp., Phlegra parvula n. sp., Ph. simplex n. sp., Ph. varia n. sp., Pignus lautissimum n. sp., Pseudicius eximius n. sp. , Rhene facilis n. sp., Stenaelurillus cristatus n. sp., S. darwini n. sp., S. fuscatus n. sp., S. mirabilis n. sp., Tusitala proxima n. sp., T unica n. sp., Xuriella prima n. sp., Yogetor bellus n. sp. The first description of the females of Festucula lawrencei Lessert 1933 and Phlegra nuda Prochni ewicz & Heciak 1994 is provided. Hyllus corniger Wesolowska & van Harten 19 94 is synonymized with H. dotatus (Peckham & Peckham 1903) and placed to th e genus Evarcha Simon 1902. Three new genera are established: Lilliput n. g en., Xuriella n. gen., Yogetor n. gen. The definition of the genus Langelur illus Prochniewicz 1994 is supplemented. The results are discussed in relat ion to the diversity of salticids from different regions of the world and w ithin Africa and to the efficiency of different sampling methods for Saltic idae.
