Additionally, Muller and Mostovski (2018: 345) mistakenly refer to the trifoliate process in couplets 21 and 21 ’ as “ Trifoliate process bilobate, never with a distinct bifurcation ” and “ Trifoliate process with either a deep or shallow bifurcation, ” respectively, but actually refer to the hypopygial prominence. These corrections are provided to allow future users to more easily use those keys. Deeming (1971: fig. 82) and Muller and Mostovski (2018: fig. 32) only figure the posterior view of the hypopygial prominence of A. albistyla . We now also include the lateral view of the hypopygial prominence, as it is quite distinctive in that each process apically widens with anterior and posterior sub-processes not mentioned in the original description. It should also be noted that the trifoliate processes figured by Deeming (1971: fig. 81), Dike (1989: fig. 77), and Muller and Mostovski (2018: fig. 32) end more pointed apically compared to the Angolan specimen that has the apex more rounded.</p><p>Distribution.</p><p>Angola (new record), Burkina Faso, Kenya, Mali, Namibia, Nigeria, and Uganda.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/080A77310D0F5898BF755AA51ADF5CB4	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
