This book represents the first comprehensive overview of the spider fauna of the Afrotropical Region, and includes an illustrated key to the 71 families. The diagnostic and descriptive characters of each family are listed and illustrated. Keys to subfamilies are provided. The distributions of the 893 genera are summarised.' - editor's note
