... Yet, Sibianor belongs to one of the most difficult Harmochirina genera. Although it has been revised in the scope of the Palaearctic and Afrotropical faunas [Logunov, 2001[Logunov, , 2009], some regional records of Sibianor species still need to be validated through the re-examination of relevant materials. This holds true for the records of S. tantulus (Simon, 1868) from the cis-and trans-Caucasia [Logunov, 2001;Ponomarev, Komarov, 2013, 2015Otto, Japoshvili, 2018]. ...

Two new species of the jumping spiders from Afghanistan (Jalalabad), Attulus nangrahar sp. n. (♀) and Plexippus sengleti sp. n. (♂♀), are diagnosed, illustrated and described. Four species – Attulus ansobicus (Andreeva, 1976), Chalcoscirtus paraansobicus Marusik, 1990, Langona tartarica (Charitonov, 1946) and Pellenes epularis (O. Pickard-Cambridge, 1872) – are reported for the salticid fauna of Afghanistan for the first time. A brief discussion of the state of knowledge of the Afghani Salticidae is provided.

... With the absence of the male, it is not easy to assign M. ghigii to a correct genus. Yet, it is obvious that the species belongs neither to Modunda Simon, 1901, as none of the four diagnostic characters of the latter genus (see Logunov [2001: 270]) can be found in M. ghigii, nor to the Harmochireae (sensu Logunov [ , 2009). The species seems to belong to the subtribe Thiratoscirtina of the tribe Aelurillini (sensu Maddison [2015]) containing 14 Afrotropical genera, and, in my opinion, could be provisionally Figs 32-36. ...
A new species – Neaetha tomkovichi sp.n. (♂♀) from India (Andhra Pradesh) – is diagnosed and described. Three new synonyms of species names are proposed: Stichius albomaculatus Thorell, 1890 and Bianor leucostictus Thorell, 1890 with Bianor angulosus (Karsch, 1879), and Bianor incitatus Thorell, 1890 with Bianor balius Thorell, 1890. The generic name Stichius Thorell, 1890 is synonymised with Bianor Peckham et Peckham, 1886. The lectotype (♀) is designated for Modunda ghigii Caporiacco, 1949, and a new combination is proposed: Ureta ghigii (Caporiacco, 1949), comb.n. (ex Modunda). New faunistic records for seven Harmochirina species of the genera Bianor Peckham et Peckham, 1886, Harmochirus Simon, 1885 and Modunda Simon, 1901 are also provided.

Examination of museum collections and of recently collected materials from South Africa lead to the discovery of the following eight new jumping spider species that are described here: Evarcha amanzi sp. Nov. (♂), E. villosa sp. Nov. (♂), Langellurillus squamiger sp. Nov. (♂♀), Massagris maculosa sp. Nov. (♂ ♀), Microbianor simplex sp. Nov. (♂), Pseudicius procerus sp. Nov. (♂ ♀), Rhene legitima sp. Nov. (♂) and Thyenula splendens sp. Nov. (♂ ♀). Massagris concortuplicata Wesołowska & Haddad, 2013 syn. nov. is newly synonymized with M. mirifica Peckham & Peckham, 1903, and both sexes are redescribed. The unknown males of Asemonea amatola Wesołowska & Haddad, 2013, Heliophanus gramineus Wesołowska & Haddad, 2013 and Menemerus rubicundus Lawrence, 1928, and the unknown females of H. sororius Wesołowska, 2003, Massagris natalensis Wesołowska & Haddad, 2009, Microbianor furcatus Haddad & Wesołowska, 2013, Rhene amanzi Wesołowska & Haddad, 2013 and R. pinguis Wesołowska & Haddad, 2009 are described for the first time. The females of Menemerus rubicundus and Neaetha irreperta Wesołowska & Russell-Smith, 2000, and males of Evarcha acuta Wesołowska, 2006, E. karas Wesołowska, 2011 and Habrocestum luculentum Peckham & Peckham, 1903, are redescribed. Seven species are recorded from South Africa for the first time: Belippo calcarata (Roewer, 1942), Dendryphantes acutus Wesołowska & Haddad, 2014, Evarcha acuta, E. karas, M. rubicundus, N. irreperta and Pseudicius matabelensis Wesołowska, 2011. Additionally, new provincial records for species previously recorded from elsewhere in South Africa are provided for the Eastern Cape and KwaZulu-Natal (five spp. each), Free State (three spp.), Northern Cape (two spp.), and Limpopo and Mpumalanga provinces (one sp. each).
... Harmochireae genera [sensu Logunov, 2009], Napoca can be easily distinguished by the following two characters: PMEs are situated near ALEs (arrowed in Figs 19, 34; midway between ALEs and PLEs in other Harmochireae genera) and abdomen markedly overhangs the carapace, entirely covering its thorax (Figs 2,7,12). A useful additional diagnostic character is Tb I bearing a well-developed ventral fringe of feathery bristles in both sexes (Figs 8,13,28); this character clearly separates Napoca from Harmochirus Simon, 1885 andSibianor Logunov, 2001 which possess both dorsal and ventral fringes and from Bianor and Modunda Simon, 1901 having none. ...
... However, most species of Microbianor Logunov, 2000 andNeaetha Simon, 1884 also have the ventral fringe on Tb I, but both differ from Napoca in having PMEs situated midway between ALEs and PLEs and, more importantly, the distinct copulatory organs, especially in the females [cf. Logunov, 1996Logunov, , 2000Logunov, , 2009; besides, their abdomen never overhangs the carapace. ...
... According to Maddison [2015], Napoca belongs to the subtribe Harmochirina of the tribe Plexippini. However, within the Harmochirina, Napoca and six other genera form a compact group known as the Harmochireae [sensu Logunov, 2009] or the harmochirines s.str. [sensu Maddison, 2015]. ...
The poorly known genus Napoca Simon, 1901 is redefined and diagnosed. A new species, Napoca constanzeae sp.n. (♂) from Andalusia (Spain), is diagnosed and described. The unknown female of Napoca insignis (O. Pickard-Cambridge, 1872) is described for the first time. A distributional map for both species is provided.
... The spider fauna of Madagascar and other Indian Ocean islands has been studied for a long time, but very few biogeographical studies exist. A few groups of spiders have been recently revised, or revisited, in some cases offering preliminary biogeographical speculations (Coyle 1995; Platnick 1995; Griswold 1997; Corronca 2003; Huber 2003; Agnarsson and Kuntner 2005; Agnarsson 2006; Knoflach and Van Harten 2006; Kuntner 2006, 2007; Huber and El- Hennawy 2007; Wood, Griswold, and Spicer 2007; Wood 2008; Logunov 2009; Lyle and Haddad 2010; Ubick and Griswold 2011). Though the evidence is not strong, these studies generally indicate the closest living relatives of the Indian Ocean island fauna being from Africa, consistent with the Cenozoic dispersal model outlined above, the likely exception being the seemingly Gondwanan migids and arhaeids (Griswold and Ledford 2001; Wood, 2008; Wood, Griswold, and Spicer 2007). ...
A detailed review on Crickets, Bush Crickets, Grasshoppers and related groups from Madagascar.
The jumping spider tribe Ballini is reviewed in the Afrotropical Region. The genera Afromarengo Benjamin, 2004 and Goleta Peckham & Peckham, 1894 are redefined. In Afromarengo, A. coriacea (Simon, 1900) is illustrated and A. ghanaensis sp. nov. (♀, from Ghana) and A. ugandensis sp. nov. (♂♀, from Uganda and D.R. Congo) are newly described. For Goleta, the type species, Goleta workmani (Peckham & Peckham, 1885), is redescribed from both sexes. Seven new genera and twelve new species are described, including three monotypic genera, Ballagascar gen. nov., with B. insularis (Peckham & Peckham, 1885) comb. nov. (ex Colaxes Simon, 1900) from Madagascar (♂♀) as the type species; Mondeku gen. nov., with M. albopilosum sp. nov. (♂♀, from Kenya) as the type species; and Oviballus gen. nov., with O. vidae sp. nov. (♂♀, from South Africa) as the type species. We also describe Planamarengo gen. nov., with P. bimaculata (Peckham & Peckham, 1903) comb. nov. (ex Afromarengo) from South Africa (♂♀) as the type species, as well as P. gatamaiyu sp. nov. (♂, from Kenya) and P. kenyaensis sp. nov. (♂♀, from Kenya); Propiomarengo gen. nov., with P. plana (Haddad & Wesołowska, 2013) comb. nov. (ex Afromarengo) from South Africa (♀) as the type species, as well as P. foordi sp. nov. (♂, from South Africa); Tenuiballus gen. nov., with T. minor sp. nov. (♂, from South Africa) as the type species, and also including T. coronatus sp. nov. (♂, from South Africa); and Wandawe gen. nov., with W. benjamini (Wesołowska & Haddad, 2013) comb. n. (ex Colaxes) from South Africa (♂♀) as the type species, and also including W. australe sp. nov. (♂♀, from South Africa) and W. tigrinа sp. nov. (♂♀, from Kenya and Uganda). A new combination for Copocrossa albozonata Caporiacco, 1949, Afromarengo albozonata comb. nov. is provided, and the name A. albozonata is treated as a nomen dubium. A new species of Padilla Peckham & Peckham, 1894, a genus only known from the Afrotropical Indian Ocean islands, P. wandae sp. nov. (♂♀, from Madagascar), is described. New data and illustrations for Sadies Wanless, 1984, as well as two Asian species of Colaxes, are provided. The recently revised Pachyballus Simon, 1900 and Peplometus Simon, 1900 are not treated further. A key to the genera of Afrotropical Ballinae is presented, as well as new data on their natural history, biogeography, and a discussion of the evolution of mimicry of various arthropod groups by balline jumping spiders. A putative synapomorphy and the new composition of Ballini sensu novo are proposed.
