Preussia lobatipes Karsch, 1890

Material examined.

Cameroon, Barombi Station (holotype ♀) (MfN); Ivory Coast, Man, Mt. Tonkoui (1200 m) 28. VI– 1.VII.2014 (UV trap), P. Moretto (♂) (BMCP).

Remarks.

Preussia lobatipes was described from one female from Barombi Station (Cameroon) and considered by the author as being related to Symmetropleura africana (see above); the male was described one year later from the same locality ( Karsch 1891). Griffini (1908) recorded it from Mukonje Farm (Cameroon), Leroy (1985) from Central African Republic and Naskrecki (2008, 2009) from Ghana. This from Ivory Coast is new and the westernmost record known till now, Mt. Tonkoui is at NW of Man, next to the border with Guinea.
