Two new genera, Rumburak gen. nov. and Yimbulunga gen. nov., of euophryine jumping spiders are established from the Afrotropical Region. Thirty three new species included in this subfamily are diagnosed and described: Chinophrys trifasciata sp. nov. (♂, South Africa), Euophrys bifida sp. nov. (♂♀, South Africa), E. cochlea sp. nov. (♂♀, South Africa), E. elizabethae sp. nov. (♂♀, South Africa), E. falciger sp. nov. (♂♀, South Africa), E. gracilis sp. nov. (♂♀, Lesotho, South Africa), E…

Abstract.
Examination of museum collections and of recently collected materials from South Africa lead to the discovery of the following eight new jumping spider species that are described here:…
An overview of the jumping spiders of Lesotho (Araneae: Salticidae), with descriptions of six new species : arachnida
- Biology
- 2014
The Lesotho fauna shows considerable overlap with the grassland fauna of the adjacent Free State Province of South Africa (15 of 31 species), indicating the importance of vegetation in shaping salticid assemblages, but highlighting the role of the considerable differences in altitude and geology in the two areas.

A phylogenetic classification of jumping spiders (Araneae: Salticidae)
- Biology
- 2015
The proposed relationships indicate that a strongly ant- like body has evolved at least 12 times in salticids, and a strongly beetle-like body at least 8 times, according to both molecular and morphological information.
Genera of euophryine jumping spiders (Araneae: Salticidae), with a combined molecular-morphological phylogeny.
- BiologyZootaxa
- 2015
In order to explore the effect of adding formal morphological data to previous molecular phylogenetic studies, and to find morphological synapomorphies, eighty-two morphological characters were scored for 203 euophryine species and seven outgroup species; however, the morphological dataset does not perform as well as the molecular dataset in resolving the phylogeny of EUophryinae.

Comparison of main diagnostic characters of all recognizable species of genera Euophrys and Talavera is presented, delimiting new genus Euochin from China, and suggesting progress and improvements in classification.

Jumping Spiders (Araneae: Salticidae) of the Ndumo Game Reserve, Maputaland, South Africa

The rich diversity of Salticidae collected in this study, and the proportion of new species relative to the total jumping spider fauna, highlight the need to maintain conservation efforts within Maputaland protected areas with management plans that also take invertebrate taxa into consideration.

Euophrys (s.str.) is redefined to include only the members of the former frontalis species group (altogether 29 species and 1 subspecies are currently included in the genus) and five species have been recorded in the Middle Asian salticid fauna.
Salticid spider phylogeny revisited, with the discovery of a large Australasian clade (Araneae: Salticidae)
- Biology
- 2008
Bayesian and parsimony analyses support a clade, here called the Astioida, representing a large proportion of the Australasian fauna, and concur with previous discoveries in suggesting that salticid clades are largely restricted to continental regions.

Jumping spider phylogeny (Araneae : Salticidae)
- Biology
- 2003
Much of salticid diversification occurred after the separation of the continents of the Old World and New World, suggesting the 'free embolus' evolved independently several times.
