The central African representatives of the genus Trabea are revised. Trabea straeleni\ (Roewer 1960) is revalidated as a good species and redescribed. Trabea heteroculata Strand 1913 is\ redescribed, and two new species from Malawi are added: Trabea nigristernis new species nd Trabea\ setula new species. For comparison, a related southern African species, Trabea purcelli Roewer 1951, is\ redescribed. Some notes on the southern African Trabea ornatipalpis Russell-Smith 1982 are given together\ with a short zoogeographical discussion of the genus Trabea as a whole.

The Australasian lycosid genus Venatrix Roewer, 1960, with Venator fuscus Hogg, 1900 as type, is\ reinstated and redefined to include 22 species as follows: Venatrix funesta (C. L. Koch, 1847), comb. nov. (= Venator\ fuscus Hogg, 1900; syn. nov.); V. penola, sp. nov.; V. australiensis, sp. nov.; V. roo, sp. nov.; V. mckayi, sp. nov.;\ V. koori, sp. nov.; V. archookoora, sp. nov.; V. pictiventris (L. Koch, 1877), comb. nov.; V. hickmani, sp. nov.;\ V. allopictiventris, sp. nov.; V. speciosa (L. Koch, 1877), comb. nov. (= Lycosa mayama McKay, 1976; syn. nov.);\ V. esposica, sp. nov.; V. pseudospeciosa, sp. nov.; V. brisbanae (L. Koch, 1878), comb. nov.; V. forsteri, sp. nov.;\ V. lapidosa (McKay, 1974), comb. nov.; V. fontis, sp. nov.; V. furcillata (L. Koch, 1867), comb. nov.; V. arenaris\ (Hogg, 1905), comb. nov.; V. pullastra (Simon, 1909), comb. nov.; V. goyderi (Hickman, 1944), comb. nov. (= Lycosa\ howensis McKay, 1979; syn. nov.); and V. hoggi, sp. nov. Hogna albosparsa (L. Koch, 1876) is considered nomen\ dubium. Venatrix comprises species mainly found in temperate forests and open areas near watercourses, lakes and\ springs. Notes on the distribution together with maps, zoogeography and subfamilial placement of Venatrix are\ given. A solution is proposed to resolve confusion over the dates of some of Roewer\’s publications.
