Abstract

In the collections from Mount Nimba (Ivory Coast) made by M. Lamotte around 1950 and deposited in the Muséum National d'Histoire Naturelle (Paris), a new species of Trabea was found. This is the first species from West Africa. In view of the known distribution range of this wolf spider genus, the discovery is remarkable and fills a large zoogeographical gap. More species of Trabea are to be expected from highlands in West Africa.
