Afrobeata

Afrobeata is a genus of jumping spiders that was first described by Lodovico di Caporiacco in 1941.[2] As of June 2019 it contains only three species, found only in Tanzania, Ethiopia, and on Socotra: A. firma, A. latithorax, and A. magnifica.[1] The name is derived from "Africa" and the genus Beata.
