Mohelia sp.

Material examined. MALAWI, Zomba Chingwe’s Hole, 12–13.iii.1987, J.A. Londt leg. NMSA-DIP 57654 (1♀ on slide, NMSA).

Female. Total length 2.8 mm (n=1). Wing. Length: 2.1 mm, width: 1 mm.

Distribution ( Fig. 16 ). Malawi (Zomba).

Comments. Due to the poor quality of the unique specimen from a locality in Malawi, this species is not formally described herein, but its occurrence in a new Afrotropical locality for the genus is documented for future studies. The general morphology resembles M. matilei sp.n., but without additional samples, including male specimens, it is impossible to determine its conspecificity at this time.
