The first record of the African black widow spider, Latrodectus cinctus Blackwall, 1865 (= L. indistinctus Pickard-Cambridge, 1904) from Liberia is presented. It is a further record of a savanna species in the forest zone of West Africa. Increasing deforestation may cause expansion of the ranges of savanna-inhabiting animal species into the forest zone.
本文呈现了1865年非洲黑寡妇蜘蛛(Latrodectus cinctus Blackwall)在利比里亚的首次记录(= 1904年的Latrodectus indistinctus Pickard-Cambridge)。这是西非森林地带稀树草原物种的又一记录。森林砍伐的加剧可能会导致栖息在稀树草原的动物物种范围扩展到森林地带。
