dc.description	<B> ABSTRACT </B>Contrib. Nat. Hist. 12: 707-721.<B><I> Pseudoctenus meneghettii </I>Caporiacco, 1949 from the Mau Range in Kenya, is redescribed on the basis of the type series which contains not only females but also an adult male. The species is cribellate and characterized by non aligned AME and PME and the presence of the tibial crack, the abdominal shield and the short apex of the cymbium in the male. Inclusion of the taxon in a phylogenetic analysis demonstrates that it belongs in the Zoropsidae. An unkown, obviously related species, from Mt. Mulanje in Malawi, is described here as <I>P. thaleri </I>sp. nov.</B>
