Hemisphaeroparia falcata Golovatch, Nzoko Fiemapong, Tamesse, Mauries & VandenSpiegel, 2018 Figs 6 View Figure 6 , 7 View Figure 7
Hemisphaeroparia falcata Golovatch et al., 2018: 84 (original description).
New material.
1 ♂ (MRAC 22847), 1 ♂ (SEM, MRAC 22848), Cameroon, Center Region, Mafou and Afamba Division, Mfou, cocoa plantation, 3°48 ’49.6” N, 11°40 ’49.6” E, 24.VII.2019, A.R. Nzoko Fiemapong leg.
Remarks.
The new samples fully agree with the original description ( Golovatch et al. 2018) and are again illustrated not only to confirm the species’ identity ( Figs 6 View Figure 6 , 7 View Figure 7 ), including the unique, conspicuous, epicranial bundles of long filaments on the ♂ head ( Fig. 6D, J View Figure 6 ), but also to note the presence of a marked ventrobasal process on each ♂ prefemur 1 ( Fig. 6L View Figure 6 ), which is much like the one observed in H. avis sp. nov.
The new locality, Mfou, lies quite close to the type one, Awae, both in the Central Region of Cameroon. Because Awae represents a native woodland habitat, H. falcata might have been introduced to the cocoa plantation at Mfou.
