Leptopholcus Simon, 1893

Of the ten species of Leptopholcus currently known from mainland Africa (Huber 2011b; Huber & Kwapong 2013), six occur in Central Africa (Figs 22-23). Of these, four are endemic to Central Africa ( L. dschang Huber, 2011; L. obo Huber, 2011; L. debakkeri Huber, 2011; L. gabonicus sp. nov.); the fifth [ L. tipula (Simon, 1907)] occurs throughout the entire Guineo-Congolian rainforest (Huber 2011b). The type species L. signifer Simon, 1893 was described from Central Africa (Cabinda, Angola) but its actual range is dubious (Huber 2011b).
