The purse-web spider genus Calommata Lucas, 1837 is revised in the Afrotropical Region. Following examination of the female type material, Calommata transvaalica Hewitt, 1916 is removed from synonymy with Calommata simoni Pocock, 1903 and revalidated. The females of both species are redescribed and their males described for the first time. While Calommata simoni is very widespread across tropical Africa, Calommata transvaalica is endemic to northern South Africa. Four new species are described, all known only from males: Calommata megaesp. n. (Zimbabwe), Calommata meridionalissp. n. (South Africa), Calommata namibicasp. n. (Namibia) and Calommata tibialissp. n. (Ivory Coast and Togo). Notes are presented on the biology of each species.

对非洲热带地区的 purse-web 蜘蛛属 Calommata Lucas（1837 年）进行了修订。在检查了雌性模式标本后，1916 年的 Calommata transvaalica Hewitt 从 1903 年的 Calommata simoni Pocock 的同物异名中移除并重新确认有效。对这两个物种的雌性进行了重新描述，并首次描述了它们的雄性。虽然 Calommata simoni 在热带非洲分布非常广泛，但 Calommata transvaalica 是南非北部特有的。描述了四个新物种，均仅知雄性：Calommata megaesp. n.（津巴布韦）、Calommata meridionalissp. n.（南非）、Calommata namibicasp. n.（纳米比亚）和 Calommata tibialissp. n.（科特迪瓦和多哥）。还介绍了每个物种的生物学特性。
