Manzuma is a genus of African jumping spiders erected by Galina N. Azarkina in 2020 as part of a study of genera placed in the subtribe Aelurillina.[2] During the study, she found that several species formerly placed in Rafalus, Aelurillus and Langelurillus were similar and distinct enough from the type species of these genera. Accordingly, she erected a new genus, transferring four species in addition to describing three new ones.[2]
Species
As of October 2025, this genus includes seven species:[1]
- Manzuma botswana Azarkina, 2020 – Botswana, South Africa
- Manzuma jocquei (Azarkina, Wesołowska & Russell-Smith, 2011) – Ivory Coast, Nigeria, Central African Rep.
- Manzuma kenyaensis (Dawidowicz & Wesołowska, 2016) – Kenya
- Manzuma lymphus (Próchniewicz & Hęciak, 1994) – Kenya
- Manzuma nigritibiis (Caporiacco, 1941) – Ethiopia, Yemen (type species)
