Material examined. 9 JJ 8 ♀♀ 1 L(instar 3), GABON: Ipassa Res., 19.ix.2006, beating vegetation, Guilbert lgt. ( MNHN) ; 2 JJ 3 ♀♀, Makoku , xi.-xii.1973, Balachowsky-Meunier lgt. ( MNHN) .

Comments. This species is very similar to A. laminatus ( Horváth, 1911) . There are no clear habitus differences between both species, possibly except body size and differences in the shape of the paranota. According to HORVÁTH (1911), A. mayri is smaller and the paranota are a little shorter. In addition, both species are distributed in the same area. Further studies are needed to clarify the systematics of the genus Ammianus Distant, 1903 .

Ammianus mayri is known from Cameroon, Ivory Coast, Benin, Guinea, and Uganda ( DRAKE & RUHOFF 1965, GÖLLNER- SCHEIDING 2003). It was already collected in Gabon in Mont de Cristal near Komo and in the Mondah forest near Libreville but never formally mentioned from the country. These are the first records from the Ipassa Reserve and Makoku.
