Six new species of Micrathena are described and figured. These are all selected from unassorted collections loaned by the Department of Zoology, British Museum (Natural History) and Oxford University Museum. The types will be deposited in the appropriate institutions. In order to further our understanding of the genus additional notes and figures on sixteen species, previously known but inadequately described, are given.
