Remarks
The vast majority of species of Spinotarsus occur in southern Africa; only two, viz, S. serrulatus Kraus, 1958 and S. terrestris (Attems, 1935) , are from the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Two species described from other parts of the Afrotropical region have subsequently been transferred to other genera: S. caboverdus Pierrard, 1987 ( Cape Verde Islands) was transferred to the genus Bandeirenica Kraus, 1960 by Hoffman (2000); S. dissutus Hoffman, 1963 ( Tanzania) , was made type of the genus Hoffmanides by Kraus (1966), see above. The new species described below is thus the first true Spinotarsus from Tanzania.
