Leptopholcus Simon, 1893 View in CoL View at ENA

Of the ten species of Leptopholcus currently known from mainland Africa ( Huber 2011b; Huber & Kwapong 2013), six occur in Central Africa ( Figs 22-23 View Figs 21 - 22 View Figs 23 - 24 ). Of these, four are endemic to Central Africa ( L. dschang Huber, 2011 ; L. obo Huber, 2011 ; L. debakkeri Huber, 2011 ; L. gabonicus sp. nov.); the fifth [ L. tipula ( Simon, 1907) ] occurs throughout the entire Guineo-Congolian rainforest ( Huber 2011b). The type species L. signifer Simon, 1893 was described from Central Africa (Cabinda, Angola) but its actual range is dubious ( Huber 2011b).
