+Diagnosis
+
+
+
+The male of this species is distinctive by the presence of a stout spine on the retrolateral side of the cymbium.The palp is slightly similar to that in
+
+Thiratoscirtus mastigophorus
+Wiśniewski &
+Wesołowska, 2013
+
+, but the embolus in the newly described species is clearly longer (one and a half times surrounding the bulb, while in the latter species the embolus forms an incomplete circle) and with a bicuspid tibial apophysis (pointed in the other species).
+
+
+
+
+
+Etymology
+
+
+The specific name refers to the presence of a conspicuous thorn on the cymbium.

+. First and second pair brown with yellow metatarsi and tarsi. First legs thicker than others.
+Leg
+II and IV yellow with brown femora.
+Leg
+hairs and spines brown.
+
+
+
+PALP
+. Brown, its structure shown on
+Figs 97B–E
+,
+98A–B
+. Tibia with characteristic curved apophysis (
+Figs 97B
+,
+98A
+). Bulb rounded, swollen, with large triangular appendix on prolateral side, embolus encircling bulb once (
+Fig. 98A
+).
+
+
+Female
+
+Shape of body as in male, colouration slightly lighter.
+
+MEASUREMENTS
+. Cephalothorax length 2.0–2.3, width 1.4–1.8, height 0.8–0.9. Eye field length 1.0–1.1, anterior width 1.2–1.5, posterior width 1.3–1.6. Abdomen length 2.0–3.5, width 1.2–1.9.
+
+
+ABDOMEN
+. Yellowish grey, venter whitish.
+
+
+EPIGYNE
+. Strongly sclerotized (
+Fig. 98F
+) with trapezoid atrium. Copulatory ducts form one loop, spermathecae consisting of two chambers connected by thin canal, very long accessory glands (
+Fig. 99D
+). Two very deep pockets at posterior epigynal border.
+
+

+
+Diagnosis
+
+
+
+This species is generally lighter than
+
+H. coriaceus
+
+. The male is easily recognized by the structure of the chelicerae that have long processes on the inner edges of the dorsal surface (
+Figs 28B
+,
+29B
+), and lacks a dichotomous retromarginal tooth which is present in the other species. The embolus is clearly shorter and wider than in
+
+H
+.
+coriaceus
+
+(cf.
+Fig. 28D
+with
+Fig. 26D
+). The female differs from that of
+
+H. coriaceus
+
+by the lack of epigynal pockets.
+
+
+
+
+
+Etymology
+
+
+The specific epithet is Latin, meaning ‘horned’ and refers to the chelicera form.

+Diagnosis
+
+
+The male is easily recognized by the unusual chelicerae with large ‘flaps’ on the dorsal surface. The female can be distinguished from congeners by the shape of the spermathecae, which are oval in the newly described species, whereas they are bean-shaped in other species.
+
+
+
+
+Etymology
+
+
+This species is dedicated to Yuri M. Marusik (Yura for friends), the eminent arachnologist, who described numerous spider species, especially from the Eastern Palaearctic Region.

+Diagnosis
+
+
+
+The structure of the embolus allows easy identification of this species and distinguishing it from its congeners. The embolus forms only a single loop at the base and has a very thin, thread-like tip. Epigyne is slightly similar to that in females of
+
+Massagris maculosa
+Wesołowska & Haddad, 2018
+
+, but copulatory ducts are thinner in the initial part and form fewer twists in the further part – compare
+Fig. 42F
+with
+Wesołowska & Haddad (2018
+: fig. 87).
+
+
+
+
+

+H. ignotus
+
+but perpendicular in the newly described species.
+

+Diagnosis
+
+
+
+The male differs from that of
+
+Finger lechi
+
+Wesołowska & Wiśniewski,
+2023
+
+
+in having a distinctly longer embolus surrounding the bulb, while the embolus in
+
+F. lechi
+
+does not form a loop around the bulb. The female has an epigyne somewhat similar to that in
+
+Finger chitato
+Wesołowska & Wiśniewski, 2023
+
+but can be recognized by the shape of the epigynal depression, which is triangular in the newly described species, while
+
+F. chitato
+
+has a bipartite depression.
+
+
+
+
+
+Etymology
+
+
+The specific name is Latin, meaning ‘small’ and refers to size of this species.

+Fig. 16
+
+
+
+
+
+Diagnosis
+
+
+
+This species is related to
+
+Evarcha prosimilis
+Wesołowska & Cumming, 2008
+
+. It can be recognized by the shape of the tibial apophysis. The apophysis of
+
+Evarcha degeni
+
+sp. nov.
+has only a small notch at the tip, whereas in
+
+Evarcha prosimilis
+
+the notch is larger and the apophysis has two tips of unequal length (compare
+Fig. 16F
+with
+Wesołowska & Russell-Smith 2000
+, sub
+
+E. similis
+
+: fig. 47).
+
+
+
+
+
+Etymology
+
+
+
+The specific name honours the Swiss eminent naturalist Edward Degen (1852–1922) who collected the
+type
+of this species.

+MEASUREMENTS
+. Cephalothorax length 3.8, width 2.8, height 1.6. Eye field length 1.6, anterior and posterior width 2.5. Abdomen length 3.7, width 2.9.
+
+
+CARAPACE
+. Oval, chocolate brown, eyes encircled by black rings. Dorsum hairless, some whitish hairs on slopes of carapace. Chelicerae big, unidentati, with long white hairs on dorsal surface (
+Fig. 16B
+). Endites brown with whitish chewing margins, labium and sternum brown.
+
+
+ABDOMEN
+. Ovoid, grey, lighter at frontal margin, poorly defined wide median light streak. Venter grey with three lines formed by white dots. Abdomen clothed in faint transparent hairs. Spinnerets grey.
+LEGS
+. Brown, bearing long colourless hairs, spines brown. Tibia I with three pairs very short ventral spines, metatarsus with two pairs.
+
+

+
+The species shares some characters with the

+species of the genus –
+
+Enoplomischus ghesquierei
+
+: the same pattern of cheliceral dentition (two teeth on the promargin and a toothless retromargin), the presence of dense long hairs on the front of the lateral sides of the carapace (forming a brush-like structure), the presence of a small femoral apophysis of the male palp. The two species are easily distinguished by their genitalia structure, colouration and lack of outgrowth on pedicel in
+
+E

+Wesołowska&Tomasiewicz, 2008
+
+and
+
+Dendryphantes nicator
+Wesołowska & van Harten, 1994
+
+. The male can be distinguished by the details of the embolus structure; moreover, the end of its retrolateral branch is forked, and one of its tips is bent, whereas in the other two species the embolus has the shape of a harpoon blade – compare
+Fig. 11C
+with
+Wesołowska & Tomasiewicz (2008
+: figs 26–30) and
+Wesołowska & van Harten (2007
+: figs 9–11). The female is difficult to distinguish from the females of closely related species, but differs by having strongly sclerotized flanges at the copulatory openings, which are absent in the other species.

+
+
+
+
+Diagnosis
+
+
+
+The species is distinctive in having a unique form of the genitalia. The male can be distinguished from its congeners by the shape of the embolus, which is wider at the tip than at the base and in ventral view looks as if it was two-tipped (
+Figs 73C
+,
+74B
+). The epigyne has spacious chambers in the initial part of the copulatory ducts, with adjacent large accessory glands. A similar internal structure of epigyne can be seen in
+
+Rhene konradi
+Wesołowska, 2009
+
+but its accessory glands are smaller (compare
+Fig.74F
+with
+Wesołowska 2009b
+: fig. 8).
+
+
+
+
+
+Etymology
+
+
+The specific name is Latin, meaning ‘attractive’, and refers to the pretty body form of this spider.

+
+
+EPIGYNE
+. Weakly sclerotized with copulatory openings placed laterally, hidden under hoods (
+Fig. 64B– C
+). Internal structure as in
+Fig. 64D
+.
+
+
+
+
+
+Distribution
+
+
+
+Previously known from
+Angola
+only, this is the first record from
+Uganda
+. The
+type
+locality is Lãndana (Cacongo), which presently is a city of the Angolan exclave, in the Cabinda Province. The information in literature that this species occurs in
+Congo
+refers only to the historical administrative divisions.
+
+
+
+
+
+Remarks
+
+
+
+The species is unlike the
+type
+species of the genus
+
+Telamonia
+Thorell, 1887
+
+. Moreover, the members of
+
+Telamonia
+
+are distributed in the
+Oriental region
+. The body shape of the male and the structure of the palp are somewhat similar to those of
+
+Phintella
+
+, but it has a unique tibia with an oval cavity below the apophysis and it differs in the presence of a membrane accompanying the embolus, so we have created a new genus for this species. The female is described here for the first time. The male and female are matched together based on body shape and colouration. Both sexes have a long proximal spine on the dorsum of the femora. This pairing needs to be confirmed in future studies when new material becomes available.
+
+
+
+CARAPACE
+. Brown, eyes surrounded by black area, anterior median eyes large, encircled by white hairs. Some white hairs and long brown bristles laterally from eye field, small white patch at fovea. Wide light streaks along lateral margins of carapace. Chelicera big, dark brown with two teeth on promargin and single long tooth on retromargin (
+Fig. 82B
+). Sternum yellow, mouthparts light brownish.
+
+
+ABDOMEN
+. Elongated, beige with wide light brownish median streak in anterior half, sparse long brown bristles on dorsum. Venter whitish yellow with two lines formed by dark dots, grey patch at base of spinnerets. Spinnerets light brownish.

+
+Diagnosis
+
+
+
+This genus is a member of the subtribe
+
+Thiratoscirtina
+Bodner & Maddison, 2012
+
+(female palp has a characteristic short retrolateral spine on tarsus), but the body form and genitalia structure are considerably different than in other thiratoscirtine genera.
+
+Ruwenzorek
+
+gen. nov.
+is a stocky spider with short legs. The carapace is high, the highest at the level of posterior row of eyes, the clypeus is also high. The chelicera has no teeth on its retromargin. The epigyne is unique, with v-shaped posterior edge and the copulatory openings far apart. Relationships with other genera of thiratoscirtines remain unclear, as only one sex is known.
+
+
+
+
+
+Etymology
+
+
+
+Generic name is derived from Ruwenzori, a mountain range, where the
+type
+species was found; -ek is Polish grammatical ending, denoting a diminutive or creating a masculine noun from an adjective. The gender is masculine.

+
+Diagnosis
+
+
+
+The species is similar to
+
+Rhene timidus
+Wesołowska & Haddad, 2013
+
+from
+South Africa
+; however, it differs in having longer copulatory ducts and another form of verges surrounding the copulatory openings (cf.
+Fig. 80C
+with
+Wesołowska & Haddad 2013
+: fig. 150).
+
+
+
+
+
+
+Etymology
+
+
+
+This species is named after the country in which the
+type
+locality lies.

+
+
+ABDOMEN
+. Long and thin, black with metallic lustre, white hairs form on sides large triangular spots reaching to dorsum as stripes. White hairs form poorly contrasted light transverse streaks on dorsum. Venter black with weakly sclerotized ventral scutum. Spinnerets black.

+LEGS
+.
+Leg
+IV longest, coxa black with triangular yellowish spot on ventral surface, trochanter yellowish with black thin streak on external side, femur dark brown with slightly lighter median ring, other segments yellow.

+Remarks
+
+
+
+Identifying the females of
+
+Myrmarachne
+
+proves to be extremely difficult, while they have very similar genitalia. The overall appearance is often also of little help as all the myrmarachnines are ant-like spiders. However, this female has such a distinctive habitus that we believe it represents a previously unknown species.

+Diagnosis of female
+
+
+
+The shape of body and colouration as in male; two pairs of round white spots on abdomen. The female may be distinguished by the strongly sclerotized of posterior part of epigyne (
+Fig. 46B
+), and the arrangement of copulatory ducts that are parallel to posterior rim of epigyne in their initial part.

+Description of male in Wesołowska (2001). General appearance in
+Fig. 46A
+. Characteristic white scales on palpal tibia.
+
+
+Female
+
+
+MEASUREMENTS
+. Cephalothorax length 1.2, width 1.0, height 0.4. Eye field length 0.5, anterior and posterior width 0.6. Abdomen length 1.5, width 1.2. Tiny spider.
+
+
+CARAPACE
+. Dark brown with black eye field, bearing translucent hairs. Mouthparts and sternum brown.
+
+
+ABDOMEN
+. Rounded, dark grey, clothed in greyish hairs, with two pairs of round light spots composed of white scales. Dorsum of abdomen clothed in brown hairs. Spinnerets grey.
+
+
+LEGS
+. Light brown with darker hairs.

+
+
+
+
+
+Remarks
+
+
+The female of this species is described here for the first time.
+
+
+Remarks
+
+
+
+Only
+one female
+is available, whose features show close relationship to other thiratoscirtines. However, due to the unusual dentition of chelicerae, we decided to create a new genus for it. This will need confirmation in the future, when males are discovered. The dentition of chelicerae does not reflect all relationships within the
+Salticidae
+, but remains a good diagnostic feature for some taxa.
+
+
+
+Patoleta, 2009; however, the newly described species can be recognized by a longer bulb (twice as long as the embolus in
+
+Ph. nilotica
+
+vs equally long in the latter species).
+
+
+
+
+
+Etymology
+
+
+
+The name is derived from the Nile
+River
+, at which sources this species was found.

+
+
+
+Diagnosis
+
+
+
+This species has a similar epigyne to that in
+
+Phintella globosa
+Wesołowska & Russell-Smith, 2022
+
+but differs by the clearly wider copulatory ducts.
+
+
+
+
+
+
+Redescription
+
+
+
+Male
+
+
+General appearance as in
+Fig. 59A
+. Specimen in poor condition.
+
+
+MEASUREMENTS
+. Cephalothorax length 2.1, width 1.7, height 0.9. Eye field length 1.0, anterior width 1.2, posterior width 1.4. Abdomen length 2.6, width 1.3.
+
+
+CARAPACE
+. Oval, brown, edges darker, anterior part of eye field black. Anterior median eyes framed by white hairs, many short white hairs on eye field, some on slopes of carapace. Mouthparts light brown, sternum tinged by grey. Chelicera unidentati.
+
+
+ABDOMEN
+. Oval, slightly elongated, dark brown with metallic sheen. Thin transverse lighter stripe in middle of abdomen length, traces of second stripe near frontal edge. Dorsum clothed in transparent hairs, some very long big setae on anterior half. Venter dirty yellowish.
+
+
+LEGS
+. First pair brown, two black lines along dorsal surface of tibia. Two very long spines on femur dorsally. Other legs missing.
+
+
+PALPS
+. Brownish, slender. Tibial apophysis short and broad (
+Fig. 59D
+). Bulb with long posterior lobe, embolus very short (
+Fig. 59B–C
+).
+
+
+Female
+
+Unknown.
+
+
+
+
+Distribution
+
+
+
+Hitherto known only from
+type
+locality in
+Ivory Coast
+, this is the first record of the species in
+Uganda
+.
+
+
+
+
+
+Remarks
+
+
+
+The species is significantly different from the
+type
+species of the genus
+
+Cosmophasis
+Simon, 1901
+
+. Moreover,
+
+Cosmophasis
+
+is distributed in
+Oriental
+and Australian Regions, and several species reported from Africa are certainly misclassified. Body proportion and palp structure of
+
+Cosmophasis chopardi
+
+are similar to those in the
+type
+species of
+
+Phintella
+Strand, 1906
+
+, and other members of this genus, especially to
+
+Phintella australis
+(Simon, 1902)
+
+so we transfer this species to the genus
+
+Phintella
+
+.

+
+
+Diagnosis
+
+
+
+The species may be distinguished by a characteristic striped and silvery shinning abdomen (
+Fig. 56A, D
+). The palpal organ is thin with a thick embolus that is broader than in most other species in the genus. The presence of accessory glands connected to the copulatory ducts is characteristic of the female genitalia. Similar glands can only be found in
+
+Phintella lunda
+Wesołowska, 2010
+
+and
+
+Phintella incerta
+Wesołowska & Russel-Smith, 2000
+
+, but these two species have longer copulatory ducts than
+
+Phintella bella
+
+sp. nov.
+
+
+
+
+
+Etymology
+
+
+The name of this species is Latin word, meaning ‘beautiful’, and refers to the silvery shining abdomen characteristic for both sexes.

+Description
+
+
+
+For description of female see
+Wesołowska & Russell-Smith (2011)
+, male unknown. General appearance of female as in
+Fig. 52A
+, female palp in
+Fig. 52B
+, epigyne in
+Fig. 52C
+.
+
+
+
+
+
+
+Distribution
+
+
+
+The species was hitherto known from western Africa (
+Nigeria
+and
+Ivory Coast
+), this is the first record from
+Uganda
+and the easternmost locality.
+
+
+
+
+
+Remarks
+
+
+
+The taxonomic position of this species is unclear. The female copulatory organs are very typical of the genus
+
+Neaetha
+Simon, 1885
+
+. However,
+
+Neaetha maxima
+
+has a retrolateral spine on the tarsus of the palp, which is characteristic for the tiratoscirtines (
+Fig. 52B
+). In addition, this species is much larger than all other
+
+Neaetha
+spp.
+
+(more or less three times as long). Unfortunately, the male of this species remains unknown, and the solution of this taxonomic problem must be postponed until it is found.

+Distribution.
+
+
+Endemic to the south-east of
+the Democratic Republic of the Congo
+. Currently, this species is only known from its
+type
+location. As botanical studies have not yet been performed in many of the hot springs in the Upemba graben and new springs are still being discovered (
+Odhipio et al. 2020
+), this species may have a much larger range. The case of
+
+C. fontinalis
+
+, which has been collected from southern D.
+R
+.
+Congo
+,
+Zambia
+, and Central
+Madagascar
+shows that strongly disjunct hot spring habitats are possible for similar species (
+Reynders 2013
+). Within the Zambesian phytochorion, several other rift related regions possess many hot springs that could be suitable habitats for
+
+C. kilelai
+
+: the Zambezi rift on the border of
+Zambia
+and
+Zimbabwe
+and the graben of the Sabe river in eastern
+Zimbabwe
+(
+Gerald et al. 1965
+).

+
+Habitat and ecology.
+
+
+The species is locally abundant and monodominant, growing in patches of 1 to 3 metres on wet mud along the edge of the thermal spring (“ Mayi ya moto ”). Its regrowth from higher nodes of older culms allows it to overcome addition of sediments by water or wind. The thermal spring where
+
+C. kilelai
+
+grows is very hot, with a temperature about 70–80 °
+C
+at the source.
+
+Cyperus kilelai
+
+occurs at the sites where the water is cooler, at about 30–40 °
+C
+. The soil is white due to the deposition of carbonate minerals and the soil layer on the bedrock is shallow. The species becomes less abundant when the mineral concentration and temperatures are decreasing, approx.
+25–30 m
+from the spring. These springs are further relatively species poor, dominated by grass-like plants, except some palms and small trees. In higher areas,
+
+C. kilelai
+
+is replaced by
+
+Imperata cylindrica

+Phenology.
+
+
+The
+type
+collection was made in June during which both flowering and fruiting culms were observed. Most likely the phenology of this species is similar to other
+Cyperaceae
+species in this region: it starts flowering shortly after the rainy season periods. Presumably, the flowering period lasts from May to July. Although
+
+C. kilelai
+
+primarily seems to be a perennial species inhabiting permanently wet soils, it is very likely to have a short generation cycle which allows it to survive drier periods as an annual.
+
+
+
+
+Etymology.
+
+
+The species name commemorates Jacques Kilela Mwanasomwe, a plant ecologist of the University of Lubumbashi, who collected the
+type
+material of the species.
+
+
+
+
+
+Preliminary
+IUCN
+conservation assessment.
+
+
+
+Vulnerable:
+VU
+(D 2).
+
+Cyperus kilelai
+
+seems to be a restricted species, which is only known from the
+type
+locality in the southwest corner of the Upemba graben, about
+17.5 km
+south of lake Kabwe. The Upemba graben is very rich in thermal springs and these Rift-related springs are in general characterized by their high temperature and sulphurous-carbonated chemical composition (
+Mathieu 1912
+;
+Odhipio et al. 2020
+). Brine springs containing chloride are also present but very scarce in the Upemba region (Salines de Ganza near the Kanandula river, see
+Van Meel 1966
+). These are more common in the south of Katanga due to the likable presence of a precambrian halite evaporative deposit, but the latter springs are generally much colder (
+Buffard and Grujenschi 1979
+). Although many thermal springs in the Katanga region were visited by botanists (Jean Jacques Symoens, Gaston François de Witte, Stanisław Lisowski) during the 20
+th
+century, our new taxon did not appear in their collections. Deep botanical and vegetation researches were done only in the south of Katanga, in the salt springs of Mwashya (
+Symoens 1953
+;
+Malaisse 1988
+), where
+
+C. kilelai
+
+does not seem to be present. Therefore, we think that even if it would occur in other thermal springs, this must be a rare species, and the local area of occupancy would always be very limited. The single known population is estimated to grow over an area of approx.
+1600 m
+2
+, with a population size between 250 and 1000 mature individuals. The
+type
+locality of
+
+C. kilelai
+
+is located outside of the Upemba National Park near several small villages (Saka, Kakesa), where farming families live. The local people consider the thermal spring as a holy place, where ancestors and extra-human powers are present and they therefore do not disturb it. In addition, this spring can be found on a hard bedrock where the salt cover is thin and probably poor in chloride. Therefore, it is unsuitable for salt exploitation. However, the locality is situated in a study area for the installation of large geothermal power plants, especially the very hot springs of the Upemba graben are of high interest (
+Makuku 2019
+;
+Odhipio et al. 2020
+). Based on this, the only known location for
+
+C. kilelai
+
+, and other locations in the region where the species may occur are potentially highly threatened by human activities in the near future. Another potential threat are the use and alteration of these thermal spring for bathing. For example, in Antsirabe (Central
+Madagascar
+), at the
+type
+locality of
+
+Cyperus fontinalis
+
+, a spa hotel was built shortly after the collection of this species, as was annotated on the
+type
+specimen. Also, the other thermal springs around the town are adjusted and exploited for bathing and in none of these locations,
+
+C. fontinalis
+
+was found during the expedition of Larridon et al. in 2010 (
+Reynders 2013
+). However, exploitation for bathing does not seem to be a common or traditional practice in the Katanga region but might gain interest in the future, especially in touristic locations. Due to the small population size, the small AOO and EOO, and the presence of a future threat, we assess
+
+C. kilelai
+
+as Vulnerable (
+VU
+), following criterion D 2 (
+IUCN Standards and Petitions Committee 2024
+).
