Type species. Myrmarachne nubilis Wanless, 1978.

Documentation studied. Comparative diagnostic drawings of 2 species in Prószyński 2016a and original literature.

Etymology. Name combines words Myrmarachne and nubilis, grammar gender assumed female.

Diagnosis. Female. "Pipes-like" sclerotized spermathecae resemble these in Myrmarachne, however, their transversal detour is turned 90 degrees anteriorwards, as a result double coils of detour lie parallel to the main axis of epigyne, making compact group with the terminal parts of spermathecae (Fig. 2D). The presence of coils of copulatory ducts is distinctly marked, posteriorly to spermathecae on Wanless (1978) drawings, but without details, so their shape is unknown. Pocket is proportionately long and narrow, located between the posterior edge of epigyne and spermathecae. Pedicel relatively short, the abdomen of females not constricted, carapace with indistinct, shallow dorsal constriction.

Males unknown, without the knowledge of their palps the relationship with Myrmarachne is tentative.

Distribution. Madagascar.

Composition. Two species from Madagascar, considered as Myrmarachne nubilis group of species by Wanless (1978: 110-113), are transferred from genus Myrmarachne MacLeay, 1839: Myrmanu mahasoa (Wanless, 1978) comb. n., M. nubilis (Wanless, 1978) comb. n.
