congensis Saussure in Riley, 1893: 581 [ Atractomorpha ].

Congo. Eleven specimens (both sexes represented).

No specimens found in the MHNG. No description was given in the original publication and so A. congensis is a nomen nudum. Kevan (1960: 40) found the material seen by Saussure in the Smithsonian Museum and nominated a Ƌ “pseudotype”, identifying it as A. gerstaeckeri Bolivar.

A junior synonym of Atractomorpha acutipennis gerstaeckeri Bolivar, 1884 .
