( Figs 5–7 , 11, 12 , 16 , 18 )

Cyana quentini Karisch, 2003 , Lambillionea 103: 120, figs. 1, 4a, 4b (Type locality: Dem. Rep. Congo (Zaire): Equateur: Kalamba).

Material examined: 1 male, Rep. Congo (Zaire), 17 km N Kisangani, Masako Field Stat., 00°36’N 25°15’E, 388m, 2–8.II.2008, Gurkovich / Zolotuhin, slide MWM 35737 Volynkin (Coll. MWM / ZSM) ; 1 male, 1 female, Cameroon, 612m, Central Region , Nkoteng , On Sanaga River, Nkoteng Forest, 04°33’34.2’’N, 11°59’37.6’’E, 24–28.X.2018, LepiLED Light Trap, Safian, Sz., Simonics, G. Leg., ANHRT :2018.36 ( ANHRT unique id numbers: ANHRTUK 00059860, 00060176), slides AV5077 ♂, AV5078 ♀ Volynkin (Coll. ANHRT) .

Remark. The specimens from DR Congo and Cameroon show slight differences in male genitalia (in width of uncus, length of juxta, width of distal saccular process, and size of subdiverticula of the distal diverticulum of vesica) ( Figs 11, 12 ). To clarify the status of the different populations of C. quentini examination of more extensive material from different countries is necessary.

Distribution. The species was found in Equatorial Guinea, Cameroon, Congo and Democratic Republic of Congo ( Karisch 2003; 2013). The record from Cameroon is new data for the species distribution.
