03FD87C3B1223421FDE85D55FCC067A8.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis The female of this species is related to the female of Afraflacilla tarajalis Miñano & Tamajón, 2017 from western Mediterranean by a similar abdominal colouration and very widely spaced epigynal pockets which are located on the lateral epigyne boundaries. Afraflacilla albopunctata sp. nov. is distinguished by a different course of the seeminal ducts, which are longer and form more loops than in A. tarajalis (compare Fig. 3 D with Miñano & Tamajón 2017: figs 1 a, 4 a).	en	Wesołowska, Wanda, Russell-Smith, Anthony (2022): Jumping spiders from Ivory Coast collected by J. - C.

03FD87C3B1283434FDDB5F7AFCD2633A.taxon	discussion	Remarks Because P. chrysochirus was the type species of the genus, the generic name Polemus Simon, 1902 is a junior synonym of Baryphas Simon, 1902. The taxonomic status of Polemus galeatus Simon, 1902, the second species included to the genus Polemus is unclear. The original description is insufficient to identify this species. Simon described a female, but probably in reality this specimen was male (see Szűts 2007). We propose the species name Baryphas galeatus (Simon, 1902) comb. nov.	en	Wesołowska, Wanda, Russell-Smith, Anthony (2022): Jumping spiders from Ivory Coast collected by J. - C.

03FD87C3B13D3439FDBF5F38FCC063F7.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis One of the smallest species in the genus Heliophanus, apart from Heliophanus pygmaeus Wesołowska & Russell-Smith, 2000. Its pedipalp is similar to that in Heliophanus splendidus Wesołowska, 2003 (both species have a slender bulb), but may be identified by the forked tibial apophysis (H. splendidus has an undivided apophysis and a second very thin dorsal one, placed horizontally to the palpal axis). The shape of the palpal femur also differs between these two species (in H. splendidus the femur is clearly thinner) – compare Fig. 18 D with Wesołowska (2003: figs 127 – 132). The female has an epigyne that somewhat resembles that in Heliophanus pauper Wesołowska, 1986, but the copulatory openings are hidden in deep, oval atrial depressions.	en	Wesołowska, Wanda, Russell-Smith, Anthony (2022): Jumping spiders from Ivory Coast collected by J. - C.

03FD87C3B111341CFE6A5F49FC5F666B.taxon	discussion	Remarks Since the original description of Menemerus dubius was quite cursory and the type specimens are lost, Wesołowska (1999) recognized this species as a nomen dubium. The recording of another specimen and identifying it as identical to the first allowed for its revalidation and redescription. The shape of the epigyne is identical to that shown in Berland & Millot (1941: fig. 51 a). These authors also mentioned that the spider is small. We remove the name Menemerus dubius from nomina dubia. A lectotype of this species is designated to maintain the stability of the nomenclature.	en	Wesołowska, Wanda, Russell-Smith, Anthony (2022): Jumping spiders from Ivory Coast collected by J. - C.

Females from Ivory Coast differ slightly in the course of the seminal ducts which are more bent than in those from Zimbabwe (compare Fig. 42 C – E with Wesołowska 2000: figs 50 – 51) but the male palp is identical in both populations. Further studies will elucidate the possible specific differences in South and West African specimens.	en	Wesołowska, Wanda, Russell-Smith, Anthony (2022): Jumping spiders from Ivory Coast collected by J. - C.

03FD87C3B1463445FDCD5919FD1763E8.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis and affinities A very small spider, approximately 2.5 mm in length. The carapace is very high, the highest at the level of posterior row of eyes. The pedipalps are relatively large, the length of the cymbium is approximately equal to the length of the eye field. The structure of the male genitalia is unique (see species description). This genus is a member of the Thiratoscirtini Bodner & Maddison, 2012 but its relationships remain unclear. Due to the presence of an anterior process on the bulb it resembles members of the genus Nimbarus Rollard & Wesołowska, 2002.	en	Wesołowska, Wanda, Russell-Smith, Anthony (2022): Jumping spiders from Ivory Coast collected by J. - C.

03FD87C3B14C344EFDCB5F39FA806568.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis and affinities A very small spider, approximately 1.5 mm length. Both the carapace and abdomen are very convex, almost spherical. The structure of the female genitalia is similar to that of the genus Tanzania Koçak & Kemal, 2008 (Wesołowska & Russell-Smith 2000) and some Euophrys spp., but the form of the body is different. Both Tanzania and Euophrys C. L. Koch, 1834 have an almost flat carapace gently sloping backwards, while in Sphericula gen. nov. the carapace is very high and highest at the posterior row of eyes, abruptly sloping just behind the eye field. The abdomen in Sphericula is also high, its width is equal to its length, whereas the members of the other two genera have the abdomen oval and not convex. The epigyne is relatively large, and the seminal ducts seen through the integument are short and wide versus thin in the other genera. The general colour of Sphericula is pale. The relationships of Sphericula gen. nov. are unclear and demand an examination of the male.	en	Wesołowska, Wanda, Russell-Smith, Anthony (2022): Jumping spiders from Ivory Coast collected by J. - C.

03FD87C3B1553450FDAA5A11FCFB6395.taxon	discussion	Remarks The species was first reported by Clark (1974), who drew a female from Simon’s collection (locality unknown). He mistakenly identified the spider as Paramodunda thyenioides Lessert, 1925. However, the type of the latter species has a different colouration and palpal structure (see figs in Prószyński 1984: 168). Wesołowska & Russell-Smith (2000) provided a detailed description of both sexes of Thyene aperta based on extensive material from Tanzania but wrongly determined it as Thyene semiargentea (Simon, 1884). Prószyński (1987) studied the type of Mithion semiargenteus and his drawings clearly showed a different pattern of the abdomen and the vertical position of the flap on the bulb (see figs in Prószyński 1987: 111). Only the redescription of the types of Thyene aperta by Wesołowska (2012 a) allowed for its recognition.	en	Wesołowska, Wanda, Russell-Smith, Anthony (2022): Jumping spiders from Ivory Coast collected by J. - C.

[Male and female of B. muticus collected together in Mozambique are also kept in the National Collection of Arachnida, Pretoria, RSA – examined.] So we transfer this species to Thyene. Since Brancus muticus was the type species of the genus, Brancus Simon, 1902 is a junior synonym of Thyene Simon, 1885.	en	Wesołowska, Wanda, Russell-Smith, Anthony (2022): Jumping spiders from Ivory Coast collected by J. - C.

03FD87C3B151345CFD9E587DFA8665C9.taxon	discussion	Comments We suggest other Brancus spp. move to other genera, and for some of them (closely related) we create a new genus Vicirionessa gen. nov. (for description and composition see below). Thus, we propose the following new combinations: Hyllus nigeriensis (Wesołowska & Edwards, 2012) comb. nov., Thyene blaisei (Simon, 1902) comb. nov., Thyene calebi (Kanesharatnam & Benjamin, 2018) comb. nov. and Thyene verdieri (Berland & Millot, 1941) comb. nov. The nominal species Brancus lacrimosus Wesołowska & Edwards, 2012 and Brancus mondoni Berland & Millot, 1941 are synonymized in this paper with Vicirionessa fuscimana gen. et comb. nov. and Malloneta guineensis respectively. Two species described from Kenya, namely Brancus hemmingi Caporiacco, 1949 and Brancus poecilus Caporiacco, 1949 have never been revised since their original description. These descriptions are insufficient to identify the species so their taxonomic position remains unclear.	en	Wesołowska, Wanda, Russell-Smith, Anthony (2022): Jumping spiders from Ivory Coast collected by J. - C.

03FD87C3B15F345FFDC55A0EFCC06085.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis This species is related to Tusitala guineensis Berland & Millot, 1941. Both species have short seminal ducts, but can be separated by their course, forming a single loop in Tusitala bandama sp. nov., absent in T. guineensis. These species also differ in the form of the spermathecae, which are two-chambered in T. bandama, whereas T. guineensis only has a broadened distal part of the seminal ducts, forming small reservoirs preceding the spermathecae.	en	Wesołowska, Wanda, Russell-Smith, Anthony (2022): Jumping spiders from Ivory Coast collected by J. - C.

03FD87C3B15A3459FD3C5F38FCFD65B9.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis This species is closely related to Tusitala lutzi Lessert, 1927. The male palps of both species are similar, but they are distinguished by the shape of the tibial apophysis, which is long and shovel-like in T. lutzi but short in Tusitala cornuta sp. nov. with a sinuous distal margin. The species also differ in the chelicerae. The chelicerae of T. lutzi are covered with white scales on the anterior surface, have a protuberance on the outside margin and no outgrowth on the inside edge. Those of T. cornuta have very long bristles on the anterior surface, the outer margin is smooth but there is a triangular outgrowth near the apex of the inner edge. The chelicerae of the newly described species are similar to those in Tusitala hirsuta Peckham & Peckham, 1902, but the male palp of this last species has a pointed tibial apophysis, a distinctly longer embolus and a bulb without a posterior lobe.	en	Wesołowska, Wanda, Russell-Smith, Anthony (2022): Jumping spiders from Ivory Coast collected by J. - C.

European Journal of Taxonomy 841 (1): 1-143, DOI: https://doi.org/10.5852/ejt.2022.841.1943, URL: http://dx.doi.org/10.5852/ejt.2022.841.1943
03FD87C3B1A634A5FDD75C44FA95624A.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis and affinities Medium-sized spiders, measuring 5 – 10 mm. Carapace pear-shaped, widest at half of the length of the thoracic part. Abdomen elongated, narrowing towards the end. Chelicerae unidentate. Legs long, first and second pair longer and stouter than others, often covered with long thick hairs, spines numerous. Palpal organ with elongated bulb, medium-length embolus originates on its prolateral side and quite large tibial apophysis. Females have epigynes with two large depressions, the edges of which are strongly sclerotized, in some species their course is spiral. Vicirionessa gen. nov. is closely related to both Evarcha Simon, 1902 and Hyllus C. L. Koch, 1846. Unfortunately, both of these latter genera are poorly defined and each contains a significant diversity in genital morphology (see for example Kanesharatnam & Benjamin (2021) for Evarcha). Until both Evarcha and Hyllus are critically revised, the exact limits of Vicirionessa will remain unclear. The epigyne of Vicirionessa gen. nov. resembles that of Evarcha (as exemplified by the type species, E. falcata) in having the central depression partially divided posteriorly by a heavily sclerotized structure resembling a lower case Greek omega (ω). This contrasts with the undivided oval or circular central depression in Hyllus. Most species of Vicironessa do not have a pair of pockets behind the central depression which is characteristic of Evarcha. The male palp of Vicirionessa resembles that of Evarcha in the relatively short embolus which arises at the base of the tegulum on the prolateral margin. In most species of Hyllus the embolus is longer, often rotating through as much as 270 ° around the margin of the tegulum. The terminal portion of the embolus in Vicirionessa resembles that of Hyllus in being narrow while in Evarcha it is broader. The RTA in Vicirionessa is large and shovel-shaped while in the other two genera it is smaller and rarely shovel-shaped. The male carapace of species of both Evarcha and Hyllus have a pattern of two broad white longitudinal bands which are lacking or only faintly developed in Vicirionessa. The female carapace in species of Vicirionessa has a pair of small dark patches flanking the fovea which are lacking in Evarcha and Hyllus. The genus Vicirionessa should be included in the Plexippini Blackwall, 1841 sensu Maddison (2015).	en	Wesołowska, Wanda, Russell-Smith, Anthony (2022): Jumping spiders from Ivory Coast collected by J. - C. Ledoux (Araneae, Salticidae). European Journal of Taxonomy 841 (1): 1-143, DOI: https://doi.org/10.5852/ejt.2022.841.1943, URL: http://dx.doi.org/10.5852/ejt.2022.841.1943
03FD87C3B1A634A5FDD75C44FA95624A.taxon	discussion	Comments The majority of species included in Vicirionessa gen. nov. were originally described as members of Viciria Thorell, 1877, then transferred to Brancus Simon, 1902. This latter genus was recognized as a junior synonym of Thyene Simon, 1885 by synonymization of its type species (see above). The species remaining from the synonimized Brancus are not related to Viciria pavesii Thorell, 1877, type species of the Oriental genus Viciria, so it would be pointless to go back to their original combination. Therefore, a new genus Vicirionessa was created for them. Composition Vicirionessa gen. nov. consists of twelve species, all distributed in Africa. Seven species included here are moved from the synonymized genus Brancus: Vicirionessa besanconi (Berland & Millot, 1941) gen. et comb. nov., Vicirionessa fuscimana (Simon, 1903) gen. et comb. nov., Vicirionessa mustela (Simon, 1902) gen. et comb. nov., Vicirionessa niveimana (Simon, 1902) gen. et comb. nov., Vicirionessa occidentalis (Wesołowska & Russell-Smith, 2011) gen. et comb. nov., Vicirionessa peckhamorum (Lessert, 1927) gen. et comb. nov. and Vicirionessa signata (Dawidowicz & Wesołowska, 2016) gen. et comb. nov. Four others are transferred from the genus Viciria: Vicirionessa chabanaudi (Fage, 1923) gen. et comb. nov., Vicirionessa equestris (Simon, 1903) gen. et comb. nov., Vicirionessa prenanti (Berland & Millot, 1941) gen. et comb. nov. and Vicirionessa tergina (Simon, 1903) gen. et comb. nov. And one more species, Vicirionessa albocincta (Thorell, 1899) gen. et comb. nov. from Hyllus.	en	Wesołowska, Wanda, Russell-Smith, Anthony (2022): Jumping spiders from Ivory Coast collected by J. - C.

Synonymization Both species were originally described from single sexes only, viz. Viciria equestris (♂) and Viciria monodi (♀). The three studied samples from Ivory Coast contained males and females together. Thus, both species names are to be synonymized. Berland & Millot (1941) described the light coloured male of V. equestris from Ivory Coast as a new subspecies V. equestris pallida. As the colour intensity is highly variable, and the authors did not mention any other differences, we synonymize the name with Vicirionessa equestris.	en	Wesołowska, Wanda, Russell-Smith, Anthony (2022): Jumping spiders from Ivory Coast collected by J. - C.
