Abstract

Diagnoses (with scanning electron micrographs of relevant structures) of genera of Dipluridae (Lathrothele, E11typesa), Hexathelidae (Heterothe/e) and Ctenizidae (Aporoptychus) in the Musee Royal de l'AJirique Centrale are given with notes on some species. Macrothele darche11i Benoit, 1966 is transferred to Heterothe/e Karsoh. Relationships of those genera are discussed.
