Origmatrachys mahnertisp. nov. is discovered and described from Ivory Coast. The new species differs from its congeners in the presence of a network of grooves on the dorsal and ventral idiosoma, in the shape of the dorsal and ventral setae, and in the sculptural pattern on the sternal and ventral shield. This is the first record of the genus Origmatrachys Hirschmann, 1979 in the Afrotropical region. A list and a new key to the known Origmatrachys is presented. Twelve Trachyuropoda species are moved to the genus Origmatrachys as: O. angustioculata (Hirschmann 1976) comb. nov.; O. boliviensis (Hirschmann 1976) comb. nov.; O. dicarinata (Hirschmann 1976) comb. nov.; O. dicarinatasimilis (Hirschmann 1976) comb. nov.;O. dictyoeides (Hirschmann 1976) comb. nov.; O. gracilis (Hirschmann 1976) comb. nov.;O. reticulata (Hirschmann 1976) comb. nov.; O. woelkei (Hirschmann 1976) comb. nov. O. chimboensis (Kontschán 2011) comb. nov.; O. ecuadorica (Kontschán 2011) comb. nov.; O. pesici (Kontschán 2011) comb. nov. and O. costaricana (Kontschán 2011) comb. nov.
