Abstract
Two new monotypic genera of the family Sparassidae are described from Madagascar: Martensikara gen. nov. with M. jocheni spec. nov. (female; from Toliara Province), belonging to Heteropodinae Thorell, 1873, and Deelemanikara gen. nov. with D. christae spec. nov. (female; from Toamasina and Antananarivo Provinces) of uncertain systematic affiliation. Both genera show unique combinations of characters that do not occur in any of the known genera. Somatic as well as genital characters of both genera are discussed and compared with those of other taxa of Sparassidae.
