Berlandia is a genus of East African huntsman spiders that was first described by R. de Lessert in 1921. As of September 2019 it contains two species, found in Africa: B. longipes and B. tenebricola.
Nigorella albimana is a species of spider in the family Salticidae, found in west and central Africa.
Nigorella manica is a species of spider in the family Salticidae, found in Zimbabwe.

Geraesta is a genus of African crab spiders that was first described by Eugène Louis Simon in 1889.
Heterogriffus is a monotypic genus of African crab spiders containing the single species, Heterogriffus berlandi. It was first described by Norman I. Platnick in 1976, and is found in Africa.
Hewittia is a monotypic genus of African crab spiders containing the single species, Hewittia gracilis. It was first described by R. de Lessert in 1928, and is found in the Congo.
Langelurillus rufus is a species of jumping spider in the genus Langelurillus that lives in Ethiopia, Kenya and Tanzania. The male was originally described by Roger de Lessert in 1925 and named Langona rufa while male and female samples were named Langelurillus difficilis by Wanda Wesołowska and Anthony Russell-Smith in 2000. The species were combined with the current name in 2012. The spider is small, with a brown carapace that is between 1.9 and 2.0 mm long and an abdomen between 19 and 2.4 mm long. The female can be identified by the orange patches on its carapace. The spider has an abdominal pattern that helps distinguish the species from the related Langelurillus manifestus, which has a brown design on a yellowish abdomen with a brown design while Langelurillus rufus has a yellow design on a brown abdomen.
Stenaelurillus hirsutus is a species of jumping spider in the genus Stenaelurillus that lives in Central Africa, Congo, Ghana, Kenya, Senegal, Tanzania, and Uganda. It was first described in 1927 by Robert de Lessert. The spider is small, with a cephalothorax that ranges in length between 2.3 and 2.7 mm in length and an abdomen between 2.4 to 2.5 millimetres long. The male is distinguished by its black and white striped pattern on the anterior of the carapace and a mane of light-coloured hairs around the eye field that are reminiscent of a Mohawk hairstyle. The female's epigyne has a deep narrow pocket and bean-shaped copulatory openings. The clypeus has a distinctive pattern of three vertical white stripes on its otherwise black exterior.
Firmicus is a genus of crab spiders that was first described by Eugène Louis Simon in 1895.
Orientattus is a genus of Asian jumping spiders erected by John Caleb in 2020. It is placed in the tribe Plexippini, within the Salticoida clade of Salticinae. In 2018 and 2019, a species found in Sri Lanka and India was placed in the otherwise African genus Schenkelia under the name "Schenkelia aurantia", however, this species differed significantly from the type species of the genus Schenkelia. Three other species, placed in different genera, were found to resemble Schenkelia aurantia, and these were all combined to create the genus, Orientattus.
