The identification key to the species groups was made by HIRSCHMANN (1969, 1990).
The main characteristics of the genus Uroactinia are the following (HIRSCHMANN, 1993): Idiosoma: Shape oval or circular. Gnathosoma: All setae long and with serrated margins. Corniculi with some teeth. The branches of tritosternum covered by short hairs. Chelicerae with nodus and fungiform process on its apical part.
Uroactinia species are known from most tropical regions, and several species have been recorded from Ghana, Guinea, Togo, Cameroon, Kenya and South Africa (WIŚNIEWSKI 1993).
Type species: Uroactinia consanguinea (BERLESE, 1905)
