Description
Smeringopus Simon, 1890
With 55 species, Smeringopus is currently the most species-rich Afrotropical pholcid genus. Eighteen species in eight species groups have been described from East Africa (Huber 2012). Three species groups are endemic to East Africa: rubrotinctus group (5 species), chogoria group (2 species) and S. ngangao. The other five groups (arambourgi group; peregrinus group; roeweri group; S. pallidus (Blackwall, 1858); S. lesserti Kraus, 1957) are more widely distributed (Huber 2012) (Fig. 26).
