Remarks. The species was recorded for Central African Republic and Democratic Republic of the Congo in the original description ( Basilewsky 1967). Almost 41 years later, it was also recorded for Guinea ‒ Bissau ( Serrano 2009). The adult male specimens examined fit very well the original description, including the median lobe conformation (see Basilewsky 1967).
Male genitalia ( Fig. 3f View FIGURE 3 ). A short description and drawings of median lobe in lateral and dorso-apical views of this species were provided in its original description ( Basilewsky 1967, Figs. 2d View FIGURE 2 , 3d View FIGURE 3 ). Additional characters of the median lobe, which were not given by this author, are the presence of one pair of scaled sclerotized stripes in laterodorsal region, dorsal opening of ostium too far backward and apex acute (dorsal view) ( Fig. 3f View FIGURE 3 ). Moreover, the left paramere is ovoid shaped, with an expansion in the dorso-posterior edge ( Fig. 3f View FIGURE 3 ).
Distribution. Central African Republic, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Guinea-Bissau.
