0D2F6C01FFA2FFD3FF6FFD82FEC5F818.taxon	etymology	Etymology: The generic name is a combination of two words: “ Afro ”, referring to the “ terra typica ”, and a part of the generic name Trichoncoides (see taxonomic remarks below). The gender is feminine.	en	Tanasevitch, Andrei V. (2020): Linyphiid spiders collected by V. Mahnert in Kenya, with the description of a new genus and two new species (Arachnida: Araneae). Revue suisse de Zoologie 127 (2): 349-360, DOI: 10.35929/RSZ.0024
0D2F6C01FFA2FFD3FF6FFD82FEC5F818.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis: The genus contains medium-sized erigonines (total length 1.90 - 2.25) characterized by the following combination of somatic and genitalic characters: 1) Carapace unmodified in both sexes (Figs 1 - 3), eyes normal, not enlarged, cephalic pits (= sulci) absent. 2) Chaetotaxy formula 1.1.1.1. Metatarsus IV without trichobothrium. TmI 0.29 - 0.32. 3) Palpal tibia modified (Figs 8, 10). 4) Paracymbium small, narrow, strongly curved and almost forming a loop (Fig. 8). 5) Distal suprategular apophysis moderately developed (Figs 8, 12). 6) Embolus twisted. Radix with an anterior process guiding and protecting embolus (Figs 8 - 9, 11). 7) Epigyne with a visor-shaped structure overhanging its cavity, lateral walls forming an arch (Figs 4 - 7, 13 - 15). Taxonomic remarks: The new Afrotropical erigonine genus bears some resemblance to the Ancient Mediterranean Trichoncoides Denis, 1950 b. Namely, the embolic division in Afrotrichona mahnerti sp. nov. is similar to that in T. piscator (Simon, 1884) and T. striganovae Tanasevitch & Piterkina, 2012 by the presence of an anterior radical process guiding and protecting the embolus (Figs 9, 11 cf. Tanasevitch & Piterkina, 2012: fig. 7). The presence of a “ visor ” in the epigyne of A. mahnerti sp. nov. makes it resemble the epigyne of Trichoncoides members (Figs 13 - 14 cf. Tanasevitch & Piterkina, 2012: figs 40 - 45). The new genus is clearly distinguished from Trichoncoides by the chaetotaxy formula (1.1.1.1 in Afrotrichona gen. nov. versus 2.2. 1.1 in Trichoncoides), by the unmodified male carapace, i. e. absence of a special group of spines on its cephalic part, as well as by the absence of a median septum in the epigyne of females.	en	Tanasevitch, Andrei V.

0D2F6C01FFA2FFD2FD90F8E0FAF0FC7B.taxon	description	Description Male holotype: Total length 1.65. Carapace slightly elongated, 0.75 long, 0.38 wide, brown, with a narrow grey margin. Chelicerae 0.28 long. Legs pale brown, femora with grey longitudinal darkening, tibiae darkened distally. Leg I 2.52 long (0.65 + 0.18 + 0.68 + 0.58 + 0.43), IV 2.52 long (0.68 + 0.18 + 0.68 + 0.63 + 0.35). Chaetotaxy 2.2.2.2, prolateral spine on TiI absent. Metatarsus IV without trichobothrium. TmI 0.22. Palp (Figs 16 - 26): tibia apically with two projections: a small, rounded prolateral one, and a short, wide, keelshaped retrolateral one; cymbium with a small tubercle prolaterally; paracymbium relatively large, its posterior and anterior pockets poorly developed; distal suprategular apophysis with a small pit-hook; median membrane essentially reduced; lamella characteristica wide, apically notched, with small teeth / spikes on its upper edge and terminally; terminal apophysis long, widened proximally, tapered distally; embolus moderately bent, with a long, needle-shaped tooth at its base. Abdomen 0.90 long, 0.50 wide, dark grey. Female: Unknown. Taxonomic remarks: In the shape of its lamella characteristica the new species resembles A. flandroyae (Jocqué, 1985), known from Mt Karthala (1950 - 2300 m a. s. l.), Grande Comoros. Agyneta spinifera sp. nov. differs in the shape of the palpal tibia (Figs 18 - 21 cf. Jocque, 1985: fig. 28), in the shorter and slightly uncinate pit-hook on the distal suprategular apophysis (Fig. 22 cf. Jocque, 1985: figs 29, 31), as well as by the absence of a needle-shaped tooth at the base of the embolus.	en	Tanasevitch, Andrei V. (2020): Linyphiid spiders collected by V.
