Genus Arrenurus Dugès, 1834

Numerous species of this genus have been described from Madagascar, often based on the female sex only and leaving doubts concerning their diagnostic features. The arrenurids of the collection in the MNHN are of particular interest due to the presence both of specimens of such little understood species, and additional material probably representing undescribed species. The study of this part of the collection can be done only as part of an extended research including the revision of several species described from the African continent.
