九蛛是一种微小的蜘蛛，主要生活在干旱的栖息地，在那里它们隐居在靠近土壤的物体下。它们在收藏中很罕见，在任何方面都不为人所知。以前在旧大陆只知道两个属，来自马来西亚的单型Mystes Bristowe和Ninetis Simon，从也门到纳米比亚有四个已描述的物种。本文描述了一个来自埃及和乌兹别克斯坦的新属，以一个新种为代表，Nita elsaff n. gen., n. sp.。基于超微结构数据和分支分析，我们假设该种与一些主要来自新大陆的九头蛇（来自下加利福尼亚和德克萨斯州的Chisosa Huber，来自智利和新喀里多尼亚的Aucana Huber）的关系比与九头蛇的关系更密切。我们还描述了来自马达加斯加的第一个九头虫种（N. toliara N. sp.），给出了两个已知种的新记录，并绘制了九头虫的分布图。
Ninetines (Pholcidae: Ninetinae) are tiny spiders, largely restricted to arid habitats where they lead reclusive lives under objects close to the soil. They are rare in collections and poorly known in any respect. Only two genera were previously known from the Old World, the monotypic Mystes Bristowe from Malaysia, and Ninetis Simon, with four described species ranging from Yemen to Namibia. Here we describe a new genus from Egypt and Uzbekistan, represented by a single new species, Nita elsaff n. gen., n. sp. Based on ultrastructural data and cladistic analysis we hypothesize that this species is more closely related to some largely New World ninetines (Chisosa Huber from Baja California and Texas, Aucana Huber from Chile and New Caledonia) than to Ninetis. We also describe the first Ninetis species from Madagascar (N. toliara n. sp.), give new records for two previously known species, and present a distribution map for Ninetis.
