Syntype. 1 female of Lispa cochlearia Becker, 1904 , junior synonym of L. pectinipes . Canary Islands. Holotype. Female of Lispa lateralis Stein, 1906 , junior synonym of L. pectinipes . Mozambique.
Diagnosis. Length of body. 5.0 mm (female). Head. Frons broad, more than one-third of head-width. Frons dark brown. Fronto-orbital plate dark brown on upper half and golden pruinose on lower half. Parafacial golden pruinose. Gena partially golden and silver pruinose. Ocellar triangle brown, reaching lunule. Antenna brown; apex of pedicel yellow. Arista brown, bare on apical third. Palpus yellow, abruptly enlarged towards apex. Vibrissa moderate. Thorax. Scutum brown, grey dusted; 3 brown vittae, the median one reaching apex of scutellum. Dorsocentrals 1+4, the first 2 postsutural pairs very short. Haltere yellow. Calypters white. Legs. Coxae grey dusted; trochanters yellow; femora brown, grey dusted, yellow at apex; tibiae yellow, tarsi brownish. Fore tibia with 1 posterior median seta. Mid femur with 2 posterior preapical setae. Mid tibia with 1 median posterodorsal seta; without anterodorsal and anteroventral setae. Hind tibia with 1 median anterodorsal and 1 submedian anteroventral setae; without posterodorsal; 1 preapical dorsal. Arolium and pulvillus reduced. Wing. Costal spine indistinct. Vein M straight. Abdomen. Sternite 1 setulose.
Remarks. This species is very similar to Lispe leucospila ( Wiedemann, 1830) , both of which can be recognised by the presence of a single strong presutural dorsocentral seta (Hennig 1960). They can be separated by the key in Vikhrev (2011b).
