Medium-sized to large, long-legged African Pholcus (body length , leg l:-30-55); distin- guished from other species groups in Pholcus by the combination of the following characters: elongate abdomen (but never vermiform as in Ph. taarab group), without ventral and dorsal cuticular color patterns on abdomen (only internal pattern; in con- trast to Ph. guineensis, Ph. chappuisi, and Ph. lamperti groups), eight eyes (in contrast to Ph. debilis group), male chelicerae with proximal and distal apophyses, procursus without dorsal spines, without hinged pro- cess (in contrast to Ph. taarab group), with sclerotized part of epigynum confined to narrow posterior sclerite (similar to Ph. lamperti group), with 'knob'. Description. Body length , carapace width AME always present, triads on low eleva- tions. Clypeus and sternum usually unmodified, only Ph. nkoetye with modified male clypeus. Male chelicerae with proximal and distal apophyses, distal apophyses provided with modified hairs. Male palpal coxa unmodified, trochanter with short retrolatero- 211.
