The genus Selamia Simon is revised. It now contains three species: the types species Selamia reticulata (Simon) (male female), Selamia tribulosa (Simon) (male female) and Selamia numidica n. sp. (male). The main diagnostic characters of the genus are the low clypeus and the presence of a large spoon shaped prolateral cymbial flange. Amphiledorus n. gen. is characterised by a higher clypeus, a rebordered sternum, the absence of a cymbial flange and embolus originating in the centre of the tegulum, which is folded over the base of the embolus. It contains three species: the type species Amphiledorus balnearius n. sp. (male female), Amphiledorus histrionicus (Simon) n. comb. (male female) and Amphiledorus adonis n. sp. (male). A key to the species of both genera is provided and their affinity is discussed.
