Nolidia transitoria (van Son, 1933)

( Figs 9, 10 View FIGURES 1–16 , 49 View FIGURES 44–52 , 69 View FIGURES 67–75 )

Nola transitoria van Son, 1933 , Annals of the Transvaal Museum 15: 216. Type locality: [RSA], Transvaal, Pietersburg district, Malta. Holotype male, in coll. TMSA.

Material examined: Mozambique, Maputo Special Reserve. GoogleMaps 2 ♂, 22m, West Gate, Sand Forest GoogleMaps , 26°30'14.2"S, 32°42'59.6"E, 13–15.ii.2018, MV Light Trap, Laszlo, G., Mulvaney, J., Smith, L. leg., slide Nos: LGNA 442 ♂,

LGNA 444 ♂; 1 ♀, 22m, West Gate , Sand Forest , 26°30'14.2"S, 32°42'59.6"E, 21–22.ii.2018, Actinic Light Trap, Laszlo, G., Mulvaney, J., Smith, L. leg., slide No GoogleMaps .: LGNA 443♀ (coll. ANHRT) .

Remark. The species was described in the genus Nola , nevertheless Hacker et al (2012) correctly refer the species as Nolidia , although the new combination is not indicated in the publication. The same work illustrates only a drawing of the male genitalia having been copied from the original description of the species and refers the female genitalia as undescribed. As both sexes were collected in the Maputo Special Reserve, photos of male and female genitalia are published here for the first time ( Figs 49 View FIGURES 44–52 , 69 View FIGURES 67–75 ). New country record for Mozambique.
