Four new species of Oecobiidae Blackwall, 1862 are described based on specimens collected in the Madagascan provinces of Toliara, Mahajanga and Antsiranana. Oecobius kowalskii sp. nov. and Paroecobius skipper sp. nov. are described based on male and female specimens. Paroecobius rico sp. nov. and Paroecobius private sp. nov. are described based only on females. A new diagnosis is proposed for the genus Paroecobius Lamoral, 1981 and a new record for the synanthropic Oecobius marathaus Tikader, 1962 is provided for Madagascar.

Terminology for the genitalia follows Coddington (1990) and Magalhães & Santos (2018), with introduction of two new terms (AP and LP) and use of the established term conductor (widely used in other spider families) to refer to the membranous area of the palp. Abbreviations:, ALE = anterior lateral eyes, AM = anterior membrane, AME = anterior median eyes, AP = process on the oecobiid tegular apophysis, CA = copulatory atrium, CD = copulatory ducts, CO = copulatory openings, CON = conductor, E = embolus, LP = process on the oecobiid tegular lobe, NRC=National Centre for Biological Sciences Research Collection, OTA = oecobiid tegular apophysis, OTL = oecobiid tegular lobe, PLE = posterior lateral eyes, PME = posterior median eyes, S = spermathecae. ...
