Abstract

Embrik Strand described a large number of spiders from the Afrotropical Region. We examined the type specimens of two poorly known species from the Museum fur Naturkunde, Berlin, which have never been redescribed or illustrated. Clubiona ruandana Strand, 1916 (Clubionidae) is misplaced and its transfer to CheiracanthiumWagner, 1887 (Cheiracanthiidae) is proposed, based on a redescription of the female holotype, making it the sixth Cheiracanthium species recorded from Rwanda. The female holotype of Corinna nossibeensisStrand, 1907 (Corinnidae) is imaged and the species is synonymized with Oedignatha scrobiculataThorell, 1881 (Liocranidae), representing the first record of this genus and species from Madagascar.
