Ledoux from Ivory Coast in 1974–75. In total, 105 species are included. Three new genera are erected <em>Pulcherula</em> gen.&nbsp;nov., <em>Sphericula</em> gen.&nbsp;nov. and <em>Vicirionessa</em> gen.&nbsp;nov. Two generic names are synonymized, <em>Polemus</em> Simon, 1902 with <em>Baryphas</em> Simon, 1902 and <em>Brancus</em> Simon, 1902 with <em>Thyene</em> Simon, 1885. Twenty eight new species are described: <em>Afraflacilla albopunctata </em>sp.&nbsp;nov. (♀), <em>Ansienulina lamottei</em> sp.&nbsp;nov. (♂), <em>Asemonaea pusilla</em> sp.&nbsp;nov. (♀),<em> Detalik cavally</em> sp.&nbsp;nov. (♀), <em>Evarcha zougoussi</em> sp.&nbsp;nov. (♀), <em>Heliophanus </em>(<em>Heliophanus</em>)<em> minimus</em> sp.&nbsp;nov. (♂♀), <em>Hyllus ignotus</em> sp.&nbsp;nov. (♀), <em>Hyllus solus</em> sp.&nbsp;nov. (♀), <em>Hyllus unicolor</em> sp.&nbsp;nov. (♀), <em>Icius bandama</em> sp.&nbsp;nov. (♂♀), <em>Langona recta</em> sp.&nbsp;nov. (♂), <em>Malizna zabkai</em> sp.&nbsp;nov. (♀), <em>Menemerus niangbo</em> sp.&nbsp;nov. (♀), <em>Myrmarachne galea</em> sp.&nbsp;nov. (♀), <em>Phintella brevis</em> sp.&nbsp;nov. (♂), <em>Phintella globosa</em> sp.&nbsp;nov. (♀), <em>Phintella occidentalis </em>sp.&nbsp;nov. (♂), <em>Phintella transversa</em> sp.&nbsp;nov. (♂), <em>Pochytoides mirabilis</em> sp.&nbsp;nov. (♂♀), <em>Pochytoides tonkoui</em> sp.&nbsp;nov. (♀), <em>Pochytoides tournieri </em>sp.&nbsp;nov. (♂), <em>Pulcherula magna</em> gen. et sp.&nbsp;nov. (♂), <em>Rhene ferkensis</em> sp.&nbsp;nov. (♀), <em>Sonoita ledouxi</em> sp.&nbsp;nov. (♂♀), <em>Sphericula globulifera</em> gen. et sp.&nbsp;nov. (♀), <em>Thiratoscirtus silvestris</em> sp.&nbsp;nov. (♂♀), <em>Tusitala bandama</em> sp.&nbsp;nov. (♀) and <em>Tusitala cornuta</em> sp.&nbsp;nov. (♂). Five specific names are synonymized: <em>Polemus</em> <em>chrysochirus</em> Simon, 1902 with <em>Baryphas jullieni</em> Simon, 1902, <em>Viciria mondoni</em> Berland&nbsp;&amp; Millot, 1941with <em>Malloneta</em> <em>guineensis</em> Simon, 1902, <em>Brancus lacrimosus</em> Wesołowska&nbsp;&amp; Edwards 2008 with <em>Vicirionessa fuscimana </em>(Simon, 1903), <em>Viciria monodi</em> Berland &amp; Millot, 1941 and <em>Viciria equestris pallida</em> Berland&nbsp;&amp; Millot, 1941 with <em>Vicirionessa equestris</em> (Simon, 1903). <em>Hyllus natali peckhamorum </em>Berland &amp; Millot, 1941 is removed from synonymy of <em>Hyllus brevitarsis </em>Simon, 1902, revalidated and its rank is raised as <em>Hyllus peckhamorum </em>Berland &amp; Millot, 1941 stat. nov. Also rank of <em>Telamonia aequipes minor </em>Lessert, 1925 is elevated as <em>Phintella minor </em>(Lessert, 1925) stat. nov. <em>Menemerus dubius</em> Berland&nbsp;&amp; Millot, 1941 is removed from nomina dubia. This species is considered valid and is redescribed. A lectotype is designated for it. The male of <em>Mexcala torquata</em> Wesołowska, 2009 and females of <em>Hyllus tuberculatus </em>Wanless&nbsp;&amp; Clark, 1975, <em>Iranattus principalis </em>(Wesołowska, 2000),<em> Myrmarachne eidmanni</em> Roewer, 1942 and <em>Thiratoscirtus tentativus</em> (Szűts&nbsp;&amp; Jocqué, 2001) are described for the first time. Many new combinations are proposed. Twenty ex <em>Brancus </em>are recombined: <em>Hyllus nigeriensis</em> (Wesołowska&nbsp;&amp; Edwards, 2012) comb.&nbsp;nov., <em>Thyene blaisei</em> (Simon, 1902) comb.&nbsp;nov., <em>Thyene calebi</em> (Kanesharatnam &amp; Benjamin, 2018) comb.&nbsp;nov., <em>Thyene mutica</em> (Simon, 1902) comb.&nbsp;nov., <em>Thyene verdieri</em> (Berland&nbsp;&amp; Millot, 1941) comb.&nbsp;nov., <em>Vicirionessa besanconi</em> (Berland&nbsp;&amp; Millot, 1941) gen. et comb.&nbsp;nov., <em>Vicirionessa fuscimana</em> (Simon, 1903) gen. et comb.&nbsp;nov., <em>Vicirionessa mustela</em> (Simon, 1902) gen. et comb.&nbsp;nov., <em>Vicirionessa niveimana</em> (Simon, 1902) gen. et comb.&nbsp;nov., <em>Vicirionessa occidentalis</em> (Wesołowska&nbsp;&amp; Russell-Smith, 2011) gen. et comb.&nbsp;nov., <em>Vicirionessa peckhamorum</em> (Lessert, 1927) gen. et comb.&nbsp;nov., <em>Vicirionessa signata</em> (Dawidowicz&nbsp;&amp; Wesołowska, 2016) gen. et comb.&nbsp;nov. Four ex <em>Viciria </em>are recombined: <em>Vicirionessa chabanaudi</em> (Fage, 1923) gen. et comb.&nbsp;nov., <em>Vicirionessa equestris</em> (Simon, 1903) gen. et comb.&nbsp;nov., <em>Vicirionessa prenanti</em> (Berland&nbsp;&amp; Millot, 1941) gen. et comb.&nbsp;nov., <em>Vicirionessa tergina</em> (Simon, 1903) gen. et comb.&nbsp;nov. and one species ex <em>Hyllus</em>: <em>Vicirionessa albocincta</em> (Thorell, 1899) gen. et comb.&nbsp;nov. Furthermore, the following two new combinations are proposed: <em>Thiratoscirtus tentativus</em> (Szűts&nbsp;&amp; Jocqué, 2001) comb.&nbsp;nov. (ex <em>Bacelarella</em>) and <em>Baryphas galeatus</em> (Simon, 1902) comb.&nbsp;nov. (ex <em>Polemus</em>). For 11 species known so far from single records new data are presented: <em>Heliophanus butemboensis </em>Wesołowska, 1986,<em> Hyllus lwoffi </em>Berland&nbsp;&amp; Millot, 1941,<em> Hyllus tuberculatus </em>Wanless&nbsp;&amp; Clark, 1975,<em> Menemerus dubius</em> Berland&nbsp;&amp; Millot, 1941, <em>Mexcala torquata</em> Wesołowska, 2009,<em> Neaetha maxima </em>Wesołowska&nbsp;&amp; Russell-Smith, 2011,<em> Pachyballus miniscutulus </em>Wesołowska, Azarkina&nbsp;&amp; Wiśniewski 2020, <em>Phintella paludosa </em>Wesołowska&nbsp;&amp; Edwards, 2012,<em> Thiratoscirtus gambari</em> Wesołowska&nbsp;&amp; Russell-Smith, 2011,<em> Tusitala guineensis</em> Berland&nbsp;&amp; Millot, 1941 and <em>Tusitala lutzi</em> Lessert, 1927.</p>}, number={1}, journal={European Journal of Taxonomy}, author={Wesołowska, Wanda and Russell-Smith, Anthony}, year={2022}, month={Oct.}, pages={1–143} }
