Langelurillus horrifer is a species of jumping spider in the genus Langelurillus that lives in Guinea. The female was first described in 2002 by Christine Rollard and Wanda Wesołowska. The male has not been identified. It is a small brown spider with a carapace that measures 2.1 mm (0.083 in) in length and an abdomen that is typically 2.7 mm (0.11 in) long. It is distinguished from similar spiders, like Langelurillus difficilis, by its complicated epigyne with its long spiralling seminal ducts.
