Wesołowska, Wanda, Azarkina, Galina N. & Russell-Smith, Anthony, 2014, Euophryine jumping spiders of the Afrotropical Region-new taxa and a checklist (Araneae: Salticidae: Euophryinae), Zootaxa 3789 (1), pp. 1-72 : 7-8

Key to the genera of Afrotropical Euophryinae (males only)

1. Retromarginal tooth of chelicera with multiple cusps (e.g. Fig. 3 )................................................ 2

- Retromarginal tooth of chelicera with one or two cusps (e.g. Figs 8 , 19 ).......................................... 3

2. Several teeth on promargin of chelicerae ( Fig. 3 )..................................................... Chinophrys

- Two teeth on promargin of chelicerae............................................. Lophostica [Mascarene Islands]

3. Body short and stout, abdomen rounded, as long as wide ( Fig. 250 )..................................... Yimbulunga

- Other body proportions, abdomen oval, longer than wide...................................................... 4

4. Third leg longer than others, with very dense and long hairs on distal segments... Saitis [African species probably misplaced]

- Third leg not longest, without such modified hairs............................................................ 5

5. Embolus with accompanying free terminal apophysis, appearing as two adjacent structures ( Figs 109 , 150 )....... Rumburak

- Embolus without accompanying terminal apophysis, clearly a single structure, but sometimes with lobes or denticles along its margins............................................................................................. 6

6. Tibial apophysis absent, tiny spiders <2 mm in length ( Figs 157 , 166 )...................................... Tanzania

- Tibial apophysis present, larger spiders> 2 mm in length....................................................... 7

7. Medium sized to large spiders (4–11 mm), carapace quite high, evenly high in anterior half ( Fig. 226 ); embolic spiral large, its diameter larger than half width of bulb, placed parallel to long axis of bulb; tibial apophysis always visible in ventral view of palp......................................................................................... Thyenula

- Small to medium sized spiders (2,5– 5 mm), carapace usually somewhat flattened, sometimes slightly elevated from anterior eyes to midpoint of carapace ( Fig. 91 ); embolic spiral smaller, its diameter less than half width of bulb, placed perpendicular or obliquely to long axis of bulb; if spiral large and placed parallel, then tibial apophysis not visible in ventral view of palp.................................................................................................. Euophrys
