Abstract
Three ant-like salticid genera, Enoplomischus Giltay, Kima Peckham & Peckha m and Leptorchestes Thorell are revised. Kima is removed from the synonymy of Leptorchestes and revalidated. Three new species are described: Kima mon tana, Leptorchestes algerinus and L. separatus. Two specific names are syno nymised: Enoplomischus chattoni Berland & Millet = E. ghesquieri Giltay and Leptorchestes halogena Metzner = L. mutilloides (Lucas). One new combinati on is proposed (K. reimoseri ex L. reimoseri). A lectotype for L. peresi is designated. L. semirufus Simon is regarded as nomen dubium. Identification keys are provided. A comparison of morphological features of the three gen era indicates that Kima and Leptorchestes are more closely related to each other than either of them is to Enoplomischus. However, it seems still just ified to place all three genera in the subfamily Leptorchestinae (sensu Sim on 1901).
