许多热带pholcid蜘蛛物种的形态和行为适应生活在下面的绿色叶子。这些神秘蜘蛛的分类大多知之甚少，对它们的生物学几乎一无所知。本文件涉及七个西非叶栖pholcid物种。其中两个是新的科学：Pholcus kakum n。sp.和Spermophora dieke n. sp.;另外3种为新描述的雄性：柱腹横孔蜂（CrossoprizacylindrogasterSimon，1907）、提普拉细孔蜂（Leptopholcustipula（Simon，1907））和长孔细孔蜂（Leptopholcustipula（Simon，1907））。guineensis Millot，1941. Crossopriza cylindrogaster以其倒置的休息位置（背侧压在叶子上），侧眼的变化看起来像额外的透镜，灯罩网有或没有“装饰物”（丝绸）和四面体卵囊而闻名。最后，对采自几内亚的两个新记录种--锥花Pehrforsskalia conopyga Deeleman-Reinhold and货车Harten，2001和林贝Nyikoa limbe，2007提供了新的形态学资料和记录。
Many tropical pholcid spider species are morphologically and behaviourally adapted to life on the underside of green leaves. The taxonomy of these cryptic spiders is mostly poorly known, and almost nothing is known about their biology. The present paper deals with seven West African leaf-dwelling pholcid species. Two of them are new to science: Pholcus kakum n. sp. and Spermophora dieke n. sp.; of three further species, the males are newly described: Crossopriza cylindrogaster Simon, 1907, Leptopholcus tipula (Simon, 1907), and L. guineensis Millot, 1941. Crossopriza cylindrogaster is remarkable for its inverted resting position (dorsal side pressed against the leaf), modifications of the lateral eyes that appear like additional lenses, lampshade webs with or without “ornaments” (puffs of silk), and tetrahedral egg-sacs. Finally, new morphological data and records are provided for Pehrforsskalia conopyga Deeleman-Reinhold and van Harten, 2001; Nyikoa limbe Huber, 2007 is newly recorded from Guinea.
