03F487E1F10B1D51D5C2F903EDFA3F20.taxon	discussion	Taxonomic note. The species shares some characters with Enoplomischus ghesquierei, the type species of the genus Enoplomischus, including the same shape of body, the pattern of cheliceral dentition (two teeth on promargin and toothless retromargin) and the presence of dense long setae on the front of the lateral sides of the carapace (forming a brush-like structure). The presence of a small femoral apophysis of the male palp is also shared. Considering the large number of shared characters, we suggest a new combination Ugandinella formicula Wesołowska, 2006 comb. nov. Since Ugandinella Wesołowska, 2006 was a monotypic genus, we thus suggest Ugandinella as a junior subjective synonym of Enoplomischus Giltay, 1931.	en	Wesołowska, Wanda, Russell-Smith, Anthony, Danflous, Samuel (2026): The jumping spiders (Araneae: Salticidae) from the Southwestern region of Central African Republic.

03F487E1F10C1D54D5C2FD14EB0E3FC8.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. The male has a palp similar to that of Habrocestum luculentum Peckham & Peckham, 1903. It can be easily recognized by the lack of the tibial apophysis present in the second species — compare Fig. 10 C – D with fig. 11 in Wesołowska (2012). H. mboki is the only species in the genus without this apophysis. The epigyne resembles that of Habrocestum mozambicum Haddad, Wiśniewski & Wesołowska, 2024 but differs in the absence of an epigynal pocket (present in the latter species) and in having longer seminal ducts — compare Fig. 11 C with fig. 13 E in Haddad et al.

03F487E1F1151D4FD5C2FF31EF073FBC.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. This species is very similar to Icius minimus Wesołowska & Tomasiewicz, 2008 from Ethiopia. The genitalia of both species are difficult to distinguish, especially in the males. The female has shorter spermathecae — compare Fig. 16 G with fig. 81 in Wesołowska & Tomasiewicz (2008). Icius similaris may be distinguished by its different coloration — compare Fig. 16 A, D with figs 76 – 78 in Wesołowska & Tomasiewicz (2008). The characteristic feature is the presence of a dark stripe along the center of the abdomen (in both sexes).	en	Wesołowska, Wanda, Russell-Smith, Anthony, Danflous, Samuel (2026): The jumping spiders (Araneae: Salticidae) from the Southwestern region of Central African Republic.

It can be distinguished by a delicate posterior margin of the epigyne, while the latter species has a strongly sclerotized posterior margin of the epigyne with a notch in the middle — compare Fig. 26 B with fig. 148 in Wesołowska & Tomasiewicz (2008). Females of Phintell a spp. are difficult to recognize, in many cases identification is possible only on the basis of molecular characters.	en	Wesołowska, Wanda, Russell-Smith, Anthony, Danflous, Samuel (2026): The jumping spiders (Araneae: Salticidae) from the Southwestern region of Central African Republic.

03F487E1F1281D71D5C2F8A8EA9E3DEC.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. The male of this species is closely related to Thiratoscirtus oberleuthneri Seiter & Wesołowska, 2015, from which can be distinguished by the longer tibial apophysis and by the absence of the anterior lobe of the bulb (thin and long in T. oberleuthneri) — compare Fig. 34 B, 35 B – C with fig. 2 in Seiter & Wesołowska (2015). The female has an epigyne slightly similar to that of Thiratocirtus procerus Wesołowska & Edwards, 2012. T. arbustorum differs from it in the presence of a large very strongly sclerotized posterior epigynal plate with a ridge reaching into the epigynal depression and with a notch on the posterior edge (Fig. 36 C, E), while T. procerus has the epigyne without a notch and not so strongly sclerotized.	en	Wesołowska, Wanda, Russell-Smith, Anthony, Danflous, Samuel (2026): The jumping spiders (Araneae: Salticidae) from the Southwestern region of Central African Republic.

03F487E1F12C1D74D5C2FF31EB4A3CE8.taxon	discussion	Remark. The palp of this species differs from those in members of the genus Bacelarella Berland & Millot, 1941 in lacking a tegular apophysis, and is more similar to the palp of Thiratoscirtus patagonicus Simon, 1886 — the type species of the genus Thiratoscirtus Simon, 1886. This species is therefore transferred to the latter genus.	en	Wesołowska, Wanda, Russell-Smith, Anthony, Danflous, Samuel (2026): The jumping spiders (Araneae: Salticidae) from the Southwestern region of Central African Republic.

03F487E1F1361D62D5C2FA60EAE13E2C.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. The male of T. blicki is related to male of Tomomingi keinoi (Prószyński & Żabka, 1983) as both share a rolled basal edge of the cymbium, shape of the bulb and the presence of a tegular process. They can be distinguished based on the shape of the embolus — compare Figs 50 C – D, 51 A – B with fig. 16 E – F in Szűts & Scharff (2009). The female differs from other females of the genus in having very large, deep, strongly sclerotized atria.	en	Wesołowska, Wanda, Russell-Smith, Anthony, Danflous, Samuel (2026): The jumping spiders (Araneae: Salticidae) from the Southwestern region of Central African Republic.

Zootaxa 5743 (1): 1-74, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.5743.1.1, URL: https://doi.org/10.11646/zootaxa.5743.1.1
03F487E1F1381D60D5C2F9D5ECDD3E64.taxon	discussion	Remarks. The problem of the missidentified V. albocincta and V. fuscimana was explained by Wesołowska & Henrard (2025). Determining species of the genus Vicirionessa is difficult. The genus is morphologically compact, individual species differ slightly from each other, and their colours degrade very quickly in alcohol. For most species only one sex is known. Females can usually be determined only after examining the internal structure of the epigyne. Often more than one species is present in one sample because they occur sympatrically. It seems that species from West Africa have been described several times under different names by different authors (in the genus Viciria). The genus Vicirionessa requires critical taxonomic revision. Many problems are caused by the identification of males of three species whose male palpal structure is very similar: V. albocincta, V. fuscimana and V. peckhamorum which differ in the shape of the tibial apophysis (Fig. 55). Synonymization. Based on the description and drawings of the holotype of Viciria chabanaudi given by Fage (1923), and its similarity to Viciria albocincta Thorell, 1899, we propose Viciria chabanaudi Fage, 1923 as a junior subjective synonym of Viciria albocincta Thorell, 1899. The identity of these species was already suggested by Clark (1974), but without formal synonymization.	en	Wesołowska, Wanda, Russell-Smith, Anthony, Danflous, Samuel (2026): The jumping spiders (Araneae: Salticidae) from the Southwestern region of Central African Republic.

03F487E1F13A1D66D5C2FAAAEEC93C5C.taxon	discussion	Remarks. V. fusimana was described by Simon (1903) from Equatorial Guinea. Clark (1974) found a probable type of this species (MNHN 22129, Cameroon on label) in the collection of the Muséum National d'Histoire Naturelle in Paris. In Simon's collection there were also other specimens from Sierra Leone identified by Simon as V. fuscimana, which were in fact representatives of V. albocincta. This resulted in subsequent errors in the identification of both species. The current records from Sangha Mbaéré province renders the presence of V. fuscimana in Cameroon very likely.	en	Wesołowska, Wanda, Russell-Smith, Anthony, Danflous, Samuel (2026): The jumping spiders (Araneae: Salticidae) from the Southwestern region of Central African Republic.
