TL;DR: An improved diagnosis and definition of the genus Stenaelurillus Simon, 1886 is presented, with new taxonomic and faunistic data for 23 species.
Abstract: This paper presents an improved diagnosis and definition of the genus Stenaelurillus Simon, 1886, with new taxonomic and faunistic data for 23 species. The genera Microheros Wesolowska & Cumming, 1999 and Mashonarus Wesolowska & Cumming, 2002 are synonymized with Stenaelurillus . Six new species are described: Stenaelurillus bandama sp. nov. (♂♀, from Cote d’Ivoire), S. belihuloya sp. nov. (♂, from Sri Lanka), S. jocquei sp. nov. (♂♀, from Cameroon), S. pseudoguttatus sp. nov. (♂, from Namibia), S. senegalensis sp. nov. (♂♀, from Senegal), and Stenaelurillus siyamae sp. nov. (♀, from Sudan). Lectotypes are designated for two species: S. albopunctatus Caporiacco, 1949 (♂) from Kenya and S. werneri Simon, 1906 (♀) from South Sudan. Six new combinations are proposed: Aelurillus ambiguus (Denis, 1966), comb. nov. (ex Stenaelurillus ); Evarcha werneri (Simon, 1906), comb. nov. (ex Stenaelurillus ); Phlegra davidi (Caleb, Mungkung & Mathai, 2015), comb. nov. (ex Mashonarus ); Stenaelurillus brandbergensis (Wesolowska, 2006), comb. nov. (ex Mashonarus ); Stenaelurillus guttatus (Wesolowska & Cumming, 2002), comb. nov. (ex Mashonarus ); and S. termitophagus (Wesolowska & Cumming, 1999), comb. nov. (ex Microheros ). Two species names are synonymized: Evarcha elegans Wesolowska & Russell-Smith, 2000 with E. werneri comb. nov.; and Aelurillus sahariensis Berland & Millot, 1941 with Stenaelurillus nigricaudus Simon, 1886. The female of S. fuscatus Wesolowska & Russell-Smith, 2000 is described for the first time.

TL;DR: In this article, three new Indian species of Stenaelurillus Simon, 1885 are diagnosed, illustrated and described: S. lesserti Reimoser, 1934 from India, S. indicus sp. nov.
Abstract: Three new Indian species of Stenaelurillus Simon, 1885 are diagnosed, illustrated and described: S. indicus sp. nov. (♂♀, from Andhra Pradesh), S. tettu sp. nov. (♂♀, from Andhra Pradesh), and S. wandae sp. nov. (♂♀, from Odisha). A lectotype (♂) for S. lesserti Reimoser, 1934 from India is designated. A new record of S. lesserti from Andhra Pradesh and comments about its presence in Sri Lanka are provided. The localities of all the described and recorded species is mapped.

TL;DR: Eight new species of Stenaelurillus Simon, 1885 from Africa are described and name of S. giovae Caporiacco, 1936 is recognised as nomen dubium.
Abstract: Eight new species of Stenaelurillus Simon, 1885 from Africa are described: S. furcatus n. sp. (♂♀, Namibia), S. kavango n. sp. (♀, Namibia), S. latibulbis n. sp. (♂♀, Congo), S. modestus n. sp. (♂♀, South Africa), S. pecten n. sp. (♂♀, Botswana, Zambia), S. specularis n. sp. (♂♀, Malawi), S. sudanicus n. sp. (♀, Sudan), S. zambiensis n. sp. (♂♀, Zambia, Zimbabwe). Stenaelurillus cristatus Wesolowska & Russell-Smith, 2000 is synonymised with S. hirsutus Lessert, 1927. Name of S. giovae Caporiacco, 1936 is recognised as nomen dubium. Redescriptions of S. albopunctatus Caporiacco, 1949, S. hirsutus and S. uniguttatus Lessert, 1925 are provided. New distributional data for some species are given.
