Docosia gilvipes View in CoL (Haliday in Walker, 1856)

During a study visit to MNHN in Paris JŠ found a series of specimens collected in South Africa and labelled in 1982 by the late Prof. Loïc Matile as “ Docosia undescr. sp.”. After careful study of terminalia, independently accomplished by both authors, they proved to belong to Docosia gilvipes , a species widely distributed in the Palaearctic region (cf. Zaitzev 1994, Chandler 2011) but not recorded beyond it so far. The question remains if this is a case of a recent introduction.
