Meganola fontainei Hacker, 2012

( Figs 73 , 96 )

Meganola fontainei Hacker, 2012 , Esperiana 17:390. Type locality: [D.R.] Congo, Lubumbashi. Holotype, ♂ (RMCA).

Remark. A male and a female specimen from Ivory Coast are treated in Hacker et al. (2012) as M. fontainei . The illustrated female specimen (erroneously referred to as a male) seems to refer to true M. fontainei , although in Ivory Coast its West African sister species M. taiana would be expected to occur. It is possible that the specimen in Hacker et al. (2012) was mislabelled.

Distribution. D.R. Congo, Republic of Congo, Burundi, Ivory Coast ( Hacker et al. 2012) and Zambia ( Hacker 2014).
