Abstract

Only 26 species of jumping spiders have been recorded from Mozambique to date. The present study is based on materials from four museum collections. Fourteen species are described as new to science: Habrocestum mozambicum sp. nov. (♂ ♀), Hyllus bisulcus sp. nov. (♂), H. ornatus sp. nov. (♂ ♀), H. simplex sp. nov. (♂), H. tetensis sp. nov. (♀), Langelurillus alius sp. nov. (♂), L. pusillus sp. nov. (♂), Langona spiralis sp. nov. (♀), Phintella elegans sp. nov. (♀), Rhene plumata sp. nov. (♂ ♀), Thiratoscirtus clarus sp. nov. (♀), T. gimoi sp. nov. (♀), Thyene roeweri sp. nov. (♂) and Vicirionessa spinosa sp. nov. (♂ ♀). Four new combinations are proposed: Afraflacilla sengwaensis (Wesołowska & Cumming, 2011) comb. nov., Psenuc dentatus (Wesołowska & Haddad, 2013) comb. nov. and P. squamatus (Haddad & Wesołowska, 2013) comb. nov. (all from Pseudicius Simon, 1885), and Evarcha soricina (Thorell, 1899) comb. nov. (from Marpissa C.L. Koch, 1846). The previously unknown sexes of two species, Asemonea clara Wesołowska & Haddad, 2013 (♂) and Thyene leighi Peckham & Peckham, 1903 (♀), are described for the first time. The updated list of salticids from Mozambique contains 118 species, of which 78 are recorded from the country for the first time.
