Unlike most representatives of the genus, which are found mostly in burrows, E. elhennawyi has been found mostly under stones (Řezáč et al. 2023). Its discovery at the Aït Baha site is consistent with the known ecology and distribution of the species in Morocco (Fig. 2D; approximate location for Guelmim; Mirleft and Ouassif records).</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03B987DEFFC5FF82E8A3F910FAA6C181	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

The embolus is long, evenly tapered and curved outwards, consisting of a single branch, tip not bifid and the conductor lacks a sclerotized ventral tip. In C. aspida the RTA is claw-like, the embolus small and curved inwards and the slender side branch has a bifid tip. The conductor has a sclerotized ventral tip (cf. Fig. 3C–H and Chatzaki et al. 2002: 626, figs 63–65). The females of the two species differ in the relative position of the spermathecae. In C. africana Lecigne &amp; Ouakri sp. nov., they are separated by about a third of their diameter, but in C. aspida by about 0.56 × of their diameter. The globular lobes are smaller than the spermathecae in C. africana but in C. aspida they are larger than the spermathecae (cf. Fig. 4C–F and Chatzaki et al. 2002: 626, figs 66–67). Moreover, the lateral heads are larger in the new species.</p><p>Finally, the two species can also be distinguished by the shape of the dark median band on the abdomen, which in C. africana Lecigne &amp; Ouakri sp. nov. tapers towards the spinnerets but is expanded posteriorly in C. aspida and the two light dorsal strips which are not connected at the posterior end whereas connected at the posterior end in C. aspida (cf. Fig. 3A and Chatzaki et al. 2002: 627, fig. 68).</p><p>Etymology</p><p>We name these specimens of both sexes as the first representative of the genus Cesonia in Africa.</p><p>Type material</p><p>Holotype</p><p>MOROCCO – <a href="https://tb.plazi.org/GgServer/search?materialsCitation.longitude=-9.663&amp;materialsCitation.latitude=30.47808" title="Search Plazi for locations around (long -9.663/lat 30.47808)">Agadir Ida-Outanane Prefecture</a> • ♂ (left pedipalp detached); Agadir, Anza; 30.47808° N, 9.66300° W; 80 m a.s.l.; 22 Mar. 2025; S.

Denis (1952) does not provide any further details, but does produce two figures based on specimens from the MNHNP. It is not clear whether these specimens correspond to those in Simon’s collection. However, his figures (Denis 1952: 121, figs 13–15, partly reproduced here in Fig. 7E, J)) are consistent with the male (MNHNP AR 1992) whose photos are presented (Fig. 7D, K).</p><p>The original description of Zelotes tragicus (O. Pickard-Cambridge 1872) focuses mainly on somatic characters. Regarding the palpus, only the tibial apophysis is described, but the drawing shows only the ventral view and remains imprecise.</p><p>However, the descriptions of the tibial apophyses of both species are convergent: regarding Z. oryx “… apophyse (vue de profil) presque aussi longue que l’article, très-épaisse, non atténuée, légèrement dirigée en bas, tronquée très obliquement avec l’angle supérieur prolongé en pointe aiguë relevée en haut et un peu infléchie en dehors” (Simon 1880) [“... the apophysis (viewed in profile) is almost as long as the article, very thick, not attenuated, slightly directed downwards, truncated very obliquely with the upper angle prolonged into a sharp point raised at the top and slightly bent outwards”]; regarding Z. tragicus ‘… this is broad and strong at its commencement, but at about the middle of its length from the underside it goes off abruptly into a tapering sharp-pointed form on the upper-side, with a rather upward direction’ (O. Pickard-Cambridge 1872).</p><p>Specimens of both sexes sampled during the survey in the vicinity of Agadir (Tinfoul and Aït Baha) were compared with what we consider to be the type series of Zelotes oryx . Direct examination of the type series was not possible (loan and examination not permitted); however, we were able to study photographs of the specimens (Fig. 7B – D, K). They clearly match the figures of Zelotes tragicus according to Alioua &amp; Bosmans (2024) and Levy (1998) (Fig. 7I), specifically the shape of the tibial apophysis, broad and robust (Fig. 7D – F, RTA) and the spiral embolus (Fig. 7H – K, see E). Thus, we consider Zelotes oryx as a junior synonym of Zelotes tragicus .</p><p>The epigyne of the female illustrated by Marinaro (1968) belongs to another, unknown species.</p><p>Distribution and habitat</p><p>Zelotes tragicus (O. Pickard-Cambridge, 1872) is known from North Africa (Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, Libya and Egypt), Chad, Ethiopia, Israel and Palestine (WSC 2025). The species appears to be fairly common in the Maghreb where it inhabits a wide range of open, xero-thermic habitats.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03B987DEFFCCFF99EB50F9E9FB06C282	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

This species is mainly found in the centre and south-west of the country (e.g., Asni, Amizmiz, Essaouira, Ourika, Agadir, Aghlef) (Lecigne et al. 2023, 2025). These habitats, mainly forested, are characterised by a semi-arid to arid climate. The discovery of the species at the Tinfoul site is consistent with these climatic conditions and this type of habitat, confirming its ecological preferences.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03B987DEFFD7FF9FEB65FB10FEF3C25C	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

However, the lateral edges of the epigyne of our specimen (Fig. 12C vs Berland &amp; Millot 1941: 307, fig. 8c) do not show any apparent convergence, as is the case for the type specimen. The description by these authors does not detail the internal genital structures. The photos of the vulva of the Egyptian specimen (El-Helbawy et al. 2025: fig. 3b–c) do not provide sufficient detail of the internal structures to provide certainty. Nevertheless, we were able to compare our specimen both with another individual from Morocco featuring the same convex shape of the lateral margins of the epigyne as the type drawn by Berland &amp; Millot (1941), and with the holotype itself (see supra material examined). Our two specimens from Morocco display the same conformation of the vulva.</p><p>Consequently, we assign the specimen from Tinfoul to Mogrus sahariensis .</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03B987DEFFDFFF97EB47FA8AFB8DC076	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
