Of these, four are endemic to Central Africa ( L. dschang Huber, 2011 ; L. obo Huber, 2011 ; L. debakkeri Huber, 2011 ; L. gabonicus sp. nov. ); the fifth [ L. tipula ( Simon, 1907 ) ] occurs throughout the entire Guineo-Congolian rainforest ( Huber 2011b ). The type species L. signifer Simon, 1893 was described from Central Africa (Cabinda, Angola) but its actual range is dubious ( Huber 2011b ). 4. Leptopholcus debakkeri Huber, 2011 . Congo D.R.
