Remarks. In his description Kraepelin (1914:132) mentions that it is questionable that this female from Okahandja belongs to the male from Lüderitzbucht. In 1933 Roewer (p. 321) agrees with Kraepelin that this is not the female of Lipophaga michaelseni and describes a female from Lüderitzbucht as such, which is housed at the SMF (catalog no. 9903387).

Collection remarks. The type locality is Lüderitz Bay in Namibia.

Current systematic position. Gylippidae, Trichotoma michaelseni (Kraepelin 1914) .
