The structure of the female genital organs is similar to that of Enoplomischus pulcher Wiśniewski &amp; Wesołowska, 2024 from Uganda, but the course of the seminal ducts is different in both species—compare fig. 14 in Wesołowska (2006a) with fig. 15F in Wiśniewski &amp; Wesołowska (2024).</p><p>Distribution. Known from C.A.R. and Uganda.</p><p>Taxonomic note. The species shares some characters with Enoplomischus ghesquierei, the type species of the genus Enoplomischus, including the same shape of body, the pattern of cheliceral dentition (two teeth on promargin and toothless retromargin) and the presence of dense long setae on the front of the lateral sides of the carapace (forming a brush-like structure). The presence of a small femoral apophysis of the male palp is also shared. Considering the large number of shared characters, we suggest a new combination Ugandinella formicula Wesołowska, 2006 comb. nov. Since Ugandinella Wesołowska, 2006 was a monotypic genus, we thus suggest Ugandinella as a junior subjective synonym of Enoplomischus Giltay, 1931 .</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03F487E1F10B1D51D5C2F903EDFA3F20	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

The male of T. blicki is related to male of Tomomingi keinoi (Prószyński &amp; Żabka, 1983) as both share a rolled basal edge of the cymbium, shape of the bulb and the presence of a tegular process. They can be distinguished based on the shape of the embolus—compare Figs 50C–D, 51A–B with fig. 16E–F in Szűts &amp; Scharff (2009). The female differs from other females of the genus in having very large, deep, strongly sclerotized atria.</p><p>Etymology.

Known from West Africa, C.A.R. and Uganda.</p><p>Remarks. The problem of the missidentified V. albocincta and V. fuscimana was explained by Wesołowska &amp; Henrard (2025).</p><p>Determining species of the genus Vicirionessa is difficult. The genus is morphologically compact, individual species differ slightly from each other, and their colours degrade very quickly in alcohol. For most species only one sex is known. Females can usually be determined only after examining the internal structure of the epigyne. Often more than one species is present in one sample because they occur sympatrically. It seems that species from West Africa have been described several times under different names by different authors (in the genus Viciria). The genus Vicirionessa requires critical taxonomic revision.</p><p>Many problems are caused by the identification of males of three species whose male palpal structure is very similar: V. albocincta, V. fuscimana and V. peckhamorum which differ in the shape of the tibial apophysis (Fig. 55).</p><p>Synonymization. Based on the description and drawings of the holotype of Viciria chabanaudi given by Fage (1923), and its similarity to Viciria albocincta Thorell, 1899, we propose Viciria chabanaudi Fage, 1923 as a junior subjective synonym of Viciria albocincta Thorell, 1899 . The identity of these species was already suggested by Clark (1974), but without formal synonymization.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03F487E1F1381D60D5C2F9D5ECDD3E64	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

In Simon's collection there were also other specimens from Sierra Leone identified by Simon as V. fuscimana, which were in fact representatives of V. albocincta . This resulted in subsequent errors in the identification of both species. The current records from Sangha Mbaéré province renders the presence of V. fuscimana in Cameroon very likely.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03F487E1F13A1D66D5C2FAAAEEC93C5C	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
