Comments.

Stegodyphus is the second-largest genus of velvet spiders, with 20 valid species mainly diversified in Africa ( WSC 2024) and differing from other related genera by the long, acute clypeal hood and arboreal lifestyle (vs. subterranean). A single species, S. lineatus (Latreille, 1817) , recorded in the Caucasus, was recently discovered in Georgia.
