A new candidate for a Gondwanaland distribution in the Zodariidae (Araneae): Australutica in Africa

Rudy Jocqué

Abstract Two new species of Australutica Jocqué, 1995, a genus formerly only known from Australia, are described from South Africa: A. africana n. sp. from Soutpansberg and A. normanlarseni n. sp. from the Cape Peninsula. The taxonomic position of the new species is discussed and a key to the species of Australutica is provided.
