Recollection of Lispe congensis ZIELKE, 1970

Lispe congensis was listed as a valid species in the Catalogue of Afrotropical Diptera ( PONT 1980) , but the species is not mentioned in Systema Dipterorum or Catalogue of Life, neither as a good species nor as a synonym. It seems that L. congensis was overlooked during compilation of the data for Systema Dipterorum and that consequently it was also omitted in Catalogue of Life. Because L. congensis is not listed in the major data banks, there is a great risk that the species will fall into complete oblivion. Therefore the species, which was collected 1934 in Congo by de Witte and which already was recognized by Paterson (i. litt.) as a new species of the genus Lispe , is brought herewith in recollection, to reduce the risk.
