- Genus Lamottella n. gen. TYPE SPECIES. — Lamottella longipes n. gen., n. sp. ETYMOLOGY. — The new genus is dedicated to Prof. M. Lamotte, an ecologist and an outstanding specialist on frogs, who initiated and led the early scientific expeditions to the Nimba Mountains. Gender feminine. DIAGNOSIS AND AFFINITIES. — Medium sized spider, body length c. 5.5 mm. Eye field large, carapace convex, chelicerae big, maxillae long, sternum short and wide, legs long. Especially long first legs, their femora with protruding setae on ventral surface. This genus is characterised by the very long first legs and the unique structure of the male copulatory organ (see description of species). Relatively simple structure of the male genitalia and modified habitus do not provide adequate base for drawing conclusions on the relationships of the genus.
