Modisimus Simon, 1893 View in CoL View at ENA

Modisimus is a New World genus; only the synanthropic M. culicinus (Simon, 1893) has a pantropical distribution. This tiny species is probably not rare, but it has previously been recorded only once from Africa (Congo DR; Lawrence 1938; sub Hedypsilus lawrencei ). It is here newly recorded for East Africa ( Fig. 20 View Figs 20 - 23 ).
