Abstract

Four new spiders,Bianor paulyi sp. n. (♂♀; from Madagascar and the Comoros), Microbianor deltshevi sp. n. (♂♀; from Madagascar), M. madagascarensis sp. n. (♂♀; from Madagascar), and Sibianor anansii sp. n. (♂♀; from Botswana), are diagnosed, illustrated and described. A new combination is suggested: Sibianor proszynskii (Zhu et Song, 2001) comb. n. (ex Harmochirus). New faunistic records from Africa are given for Bianor albobimaculatus, B. kovaczi, Harmochirus luculentus, Modunda staintoni, Neaetha oculata, and Sibianor kenyaensis. A brief discussion of the current state of knowledge of the Harmochireae is also provided.
