Smeringopina Kraus, 1957 View in CoL View at ENA

The Guineo-Congolian genus Smeringopina has its highest diversity in Central Africa ( Huber 2013). Any Central African forest seems to contain one to three representatives of the genus, and places without known records have most probably never been searched adequately ( Fig. 32 View Figs 31 - 32 ). Of the 44 currently known species, 37 occur in the area considered here. Except for S. fon Huber, 2013 (which ranges into West Africa) all of them are endemic to Central Africa.
