Anansus Huber, 2007

Anansus is endemic and widely distributed in tropical Africa ( Huber 2007; Huber & Warui 2012; Huber & Kwapong 2013), with two nominal species currently known from Central Africa ( Fig. 20 ). Females in this genus are difficult to distinguish, and female specimens from Bioko (Pico Basilé) in CAS and from Gabon (Ntenkélé) in ZFMK (Ar 11886) might represent further undescribed species.
