Freetown, Sierra-Leone. One ♂ and one ♀.

The MHNG collection contains one specimen in alcohol (MHNG-ARTO-18476). The specimen has a pin running the length of the body and there are dissected parts including gonopods in a separate vial. The identification label has “ Sierra Leone W. Volz” written on it, indicating that the specimen is a syntype. The other syntype is presumably in the NMBE. Peridontopyge gracilis is the type species of the genus Neodontopyge Carl, 1913 by monotypy ( Jeekel, 1971).
