Jeekelosoma Mauriès, 1985, is upgraded from subgenus status under Eviulisoma Silvestri,1910 to full genus status. The type species, Jeekelosoma abadi (Mauriès, 1985) is redescribed based on topotypical material from a cave in Morocco. Jeekelosoma heptarachne sp. nov. and J. viginti sp. nov. are described from two further Moroccan caves.
