Animals found only in Eswatini include one species of vertebrate, one spider, two species of centipede, two species of millipede and 20 species of insects. It is possible that with further investigation, these species might be found in adjacent areas of South Africa or Mozambique. Many groups of invertebrate have not been well studied yet, and additional species found only in Eswatini might be described.
