            <p> Genus  Chedimanops gen. n.</p>
            <p>Type species.</p>
            <p> Chedimanops eskovi sp. n. </p>
            <p>Etymology.</p>
            <p> The generic name is combined from  Chedima , the nominative genus of the  Chediminae (  Palpimanidae ), resembling the studied genus habitually, and  Nops , the well-known spider genus of the family  Caponiidae , in which all members also have only two eyes. The gender is masculine. </p>
            <p>Diagnosis.</p>
            <p> The new genus can be easily distinguished from all known genera of the  Palpimanidae , except  Hybosidella gen. n., by having only two eyes (all eyes except AME are lost, whereas other  Palpimanidae have either 8 or 6 eyes).  Chedimanops gen. n. can be distinguished from  Hybosidella gen. n. by the shape of the thoracic fovea (a narrow bracket-shaped pit vs. a longitudinal groove), as well as by the structure of the abdominal scuta and the shape of male copulatory organ, and by possessing the characteristic mottled dorsal pattern of the abdomen (uniformly pale in  Hybosidella gen. n.), etc. (cf. Figs 1-4, 6-10, 12, 32 and 41-43, 54, respectively). Male palp in  Chedimanops gen. n. has a undivided claw-shaped process (Cp) of the embolic division (vs. a divided process with a different shape in  Hybosidella gen. n. - cf. Figs 33-35, 49-52, 56-57 and 53, 64-66). </p>
            <p>Description.</p>
            <p>Body length 3.0-3.2 in males and 3.1-4.0 in females.</p>
            <p>Carapace: very finely granulated, broad-oval in dorsal view and covered with fine setae - very small and appressed anteriorly and laterally, and with longer and thicker ones near the fovea. Cephalic part noticeably raised behind eye area in both sexes. Thoracic fovea narrow, transverse, converging and sharp-angled anteriorly, opened posteriorly (Figs 3, 4, 6, 12, 15). Two eyes, only AME present, other eyes lost. AME minute-sized, spaced by 0.4-0.7 of diameter and located on low tubercle. Clypeus 1.9-2.2 times higher than AME diameter (Figs 11, 13). Chelicerae downward-directed, slightly flattened frontally, twice longer than clypeus; stridulatory ridges absent; cheliceral furrow with several peg teeth (Figs 26-29). Sternum with fine reticulation; labium triangular with very deep median suture (Ms, Fig. 14), nearly as broad at base as it is long.</p>
            <p> Legs: formula 1423. Leg cuticle almost smooth. Femur I considerably swollen in proximal part; patella as long as tibia, metatarsus and tarsus short and dilated. Tibia I  subapically and metatarsus I with long (equal to width of these segments) and dense prolateral scopula. Leg tarsi straight and ascopulate. Claw tufts weakly developed. Leg tarsi with two narrow and dentate claws (Figs 23-25). </p>
            <p>Abdomen: ovoidal, slightly extended anteriorly and obtuse posteriorly, with dorsal pattern of numerous small and dense light spots on darker background (Figs 1, 3, 4, 6-10). Abdominal scuta conforming a very short pedicel tube (Pt); posterior part of epigastral scutum in females with with strongly sclerotized margins, widely concave near epigastral furrow, without lateral extensions. In males, posterior lateral parts of epigastric scutum with extensions (Ee) longer than wide, posterior part near epigastrum with thin concavity. Ventral (postgastral) scutum (Ps) entire, strip-like in female. Males with 2 pairs of scuta, thin strip-like lateral scuta (PsL) and small median scuta (PsM). Spinneret group with weakly sclerotised ring encircling spinnerets. AMS small but well-developed; PMS and PLS reduced to a few sessile spigots in females, absent in males (see Fig. 22).</p>
            <p> Male palp: short, femur slightly swollen, shorter or subequal in length to cymbium; patella small, as long as wide, thinner than femur; tibia wide, strongly widened, almost 2 times wider than femur, extended dorsally so that ventral side 2-4 times shorter than dorsal arch; cymbium 1.5-1.7 times longer than basal width, with basal 1/3 wide, and fingerlike distal 2/3; retrolateral-basal part with sparse scopula (Figs 49, 51, 56, 57, 59, 60). Bulb large, tegulum as long as wide and lacking any processes (Figs 33, 34, 50, 52, 56, 58). Embolic division (Figs 32, 35) imbedded into large tegular cavity (Tc, diameter almost equal to tegulum diameter); embolic division composed by large, heavily sclerotized claw-shaped process (Cp), with tip directed to the tip of cymbium, inner part of claw-shaped process with accompanying membrane (Am) fused at the base with large membranous process (Mp) slightly chitinized in prolateral part (Em?) possibly serving as embolus. Accompanying membrane with barbed tip (Bl) in  Chedimanops eskovi sp. n. Sperm duct (spermophore) not evident. </p>
            <p> Female copulatory organs: epigastral scuta concave near epigastral furrow, receptacles oval, clearly visible through integument (Figs 2, 5, 36, 39), and separated from one another shorter than their diamater. Vulva: receptacles large, closely spaced, inner part of receptacle (chamber, Ch) is half of size of entire receptacle; grape-shaped glands (Gg) large and numerous (8-12), each gland with at least 2 pores each bearing one cilium. Fine threads (Ft) long, in  Chedimanops rwenzorensis sp. n., their tips with very fine glands (Fg). </p>
            <p>Species included.</p>
            <p> Chedimanops eskovi sp. n. and  Chedimanops rwenzorensis sp. n. </p>
            <p>Distribution.</p>
            <p>The genus is currently known only from the far eastern part of the Democratic Republic of Congo (Rwenzori Mts.).</p>

            <p>Etymology.</p>
            <p>The specific epithet is given in honour of our good friend and colleague Kirill Eskov (Paleontological Institute, Moscow), the author of many works devoted to the taxonomy of recent and fossil spiders.</p>
            <p>Diagnosis.</p>
            <p> Differs from  Chedimanops rwenzorensis sp. n. by a darker, more intense, and contrasted colouration, with presence of a weak ventral reticulate pattern on the abdomen, as well as by the shape of copulatory organs. Claw-shaped process of the embolic division has 1 bend (2 in  Chedimanops rwenzorensis sp. n.), longer cymbium with length width ratio 1.7 (1.5 in the related species), swollen tibia and faint membranous process (distinct and large in sibling species). Females clearly differ by the position of receptacles (approximately one diameter from epigastral fold in  Chedimanops eskovi sp. n. and by less than one radius in  Chedimanops rwenzorensis sp. n.) and the number of grape-shaped glands (more than ten in  Chedimanops eskovi sp. n. and fewer than ten in  Chedimanops rwenzorensis sp. n). </p>

            <p>Etymology.</p>
            <p> The generic name is a diminutive of  Hybosida , the palpimanid genus, similar in appearance. The gender is feminine. </p>
            <p>Diagnosis.</p>
            <p> The new genus can be easily distinguished from all other known palpimanids, except  Chedimanops gen. n., by having only two eyes.  Hybosidella gen. n. can be distinguished from  Chedimanops gen. n. by the much narrower slit-like thoracic  fovea , smaller size (carapace less than 1.1 long, vs. more than 1.3 in the latter), lack of lateral extensions (Ee) of epigastric scutum (present in  Chedimanops gen. n.), wide and short lateral postgastral scuta (thin and long in the latter, cf. Figs 36-39, 43), bifurcated claw-shaped process (undivided in  Chedimanops gen. n., cf. Figs 49-52, 64-66) and well sclerotized embolus (Em) lacking in related genus (cf. Figs 32, 53). </p>
            <p>Description.</p>
            <p>Body length less than 2.5 mm. Carapace finely granulated, oval in dorsal view and covered with fine setae. Cephalic part distinctly raised behind eye area. Thoracic fovea transverse, very narrow and slit-shaped. Two eyes, only AME present, other eyes lost. Eyes moderately large, spaced by ca. 0.4 of their diameter. Clypeus nearly 1.5 times higher than AME diameter. Chelicerae downward-directed, without stridulatory ridges. Sternum with fine reticulation, more coarsely granulated anteriorly. Labium triangular with deep median suture (Ms), slightly longer than wide at base.</p>
            <p> Legs : formula 1423. Leg cuticle smooth. Femur I moderately swollen; patella shorter than tibia, metatarsus short, tarsus short and dilated (Fig. 40). Tibia I subapically and metatarsus I with dense prolateral scopula. Leg tarsi straight and ascopulate. Claw tufts weakly developed. Leg tarsi with two narrow and weakly dentate claws. </p>
            <p>Abdomen: ovoidal, slightly extended anteriorly and obtuse posteriorly. Abdominal scuta conforming a very short pedicel tube; dorsal portion of scutum with well-developed posterior margin. Epigastral scutum without lateral extensions. Postgastral lateral scuta (PsL) short and wide, median scuta indistinct (if present). AMS small, PMS and PLS not evident.</p>
            <p> Male palp: as in Figs 53-54, 64-66. Femur 2.5 times longer than wide; patella almost round, slightly thinner than femur. Tibia strongly swollen, almost as wide as long, approximately 2 times wider than femur, ventral length subequal to dorsal. Cymbium thin and long, ca 2.7 longer than wide. Tegulum longer than wide, more than 1.5 times thinner than patella and lacking processes. Sperm duct not evident. Embolic division embedded into tegular cavity and bears strong, heavily sclerotized claw-shaped process (Cp) bifurcated in the terminal 1/3, with both arms sharply pointed, and retrolateral  arm thicker than prolateral. Embolus (Em) noticeably smaller and shorter than neighbouring outgrowth, wider at base, and bent apically. </p>
            <p>Female copulatory organ: unknown.</p>
            <p>Species included.</p>
