The genera Urodesmus and Monachodesmus
are reviewed and shown to comprise four
and 18 species, respectively, all keyed, including U.
cornutus sp.n., M. longicaudatus sp.n. and M. armorum
sp.n., all three from Cameroon. In addition, the West
African genus Udodesmus is recorded in Cameroon for
the first time, being represented there by U. camerunensis
sp.n., which is unique among congeners in showing
5+5 undifferentiated lobulations at the anterior margin
of the collum.
