Abstract

A new species of the spider family Telemidae from South Africa, Cangodercesglobosa sp. n., is diagnosed, described and illustrated. This is the second species of the family to be recorded from the country. Consistent with the habits of most Afrotropical telemids, C.globosa sp. n. was collected by sifting leaf litter in forests.
