Distribution. L. condylus has been described from Zaire (= Democratic Republic of Congo); it is here reported for the first time from CAR. Massa (2013) reported from CAR also L. angustipennis Chopard, 1954 , but comparing new male specimens with previous ones listed by Massa (2013) their identification was changed into L. condylus ; females are very difficult to recognize and were identified as L. condylus because they were collected together males of this species. Thus, L. angustipennis Chopard, 1954 , described from Mt. Nimba, is currently known only from the Guinea and Sierra Leone and it must be excluded from the Central African orthopterofauna.
