Atherigona jordaensi Magoai & Muller, 2024: 52 , figs 3, 6.

Material examined: 1♂, Mudumu Game Reserve, Nakatwa , 18°11'S, 23°25'E, 08–13.iii.1992, M. Pusch & E. Marais ; 21♂, West Caprivi Park, Kwando River: Susuwe , 17°45'37''S, 23°20'55''E, 28.ix–02.x.1998, A . H. Kirk-Spriggs , Malaise trap, dry woodland ; 1♂, West Caprivi Park, Kwando River, Susuwe , 17°45'37''S, 23°20'55''E, 28.ix– 02.x.1998, Malaise trap in dry woodland, A.H. Kirk-Spriggs ; 6♂, West Caprivi Park, Fort Doppies , 17°49'28''S, 23°18'49''E, 20–21.x.1999, [ A.H.] Kirk-Spriggs, [T.] Pape & [W.] Hauwanga, Malaise trap (all NMNW) .

Remarks: The specimens examined here differ slightly in the shape of the trifoliate process, in that in profile ( Fig. 14 ) the lower margin of the medial lobe is a simple curve, rather than a sinuate curve (see Magoai & Muller 2024, fig. 6b) and in dorsal view ( Fig. 13 ) the median lobe has four stronger setae and a number of minor setulae and is less abruptly enlarged in the apical third.

Distribution: Lesotho, Namibia * and South Africa,
