Three new genera of thiratoscirtines are established: Finger gen. nov., Lictor gen. nov. and Quadrica gen. nov. Six new species are described: Bacelarella machadoi sp. nov. (♀, from Angola), Finger chitato sp. nov. (♀, from Angola), Finger lechi sp. nov. (♂♀, from Angola), Lictor tchimbele sp. nov. (♂, from Gabon), Thiratoscirtus obesus sp. nov. (♀, from Gabon) and Thiratoscirtus tenuis sp. nov. (♂, from Gabon, Mozambique, Burundi and Uganda). Six new combinations are proposed, two ex Bacelarella: Lictor conjugans (Szűts & Jocque, 2001) comb. nov. and Lictor pavidus (Szűts & Jocqué, 2001) comb. nov. and four ex Thiratoscirtus: Lictor mirabilis (Wesołowska & Russell-Smith, 2011) comb. nov., Lictor perspicuus (Wiśniewski & Wesołowska, 2013) comb. nov., Lictor tentativus (Szűts & Jocque, 2001) comb. nov. and Quadrica lamboji (Seiter & Wesołowska, 2015) comb. nov. Female of Bacelarella pavida Szűts & Jocqué, 2001, wrongly matched with a male of Thiratoscirtus gambari Wesołowska & Russell-Smith, 2011, is returned as female of Lictor pavidus (Szűts & Jocqué, 2001). The utility of female palp spination in taxonomy of thiratoscirtines is discussed.
