Hemisphaeroparia spiniger Golovatch, Nzoko Fiemapong, Tamesse, Mauries & VandenSpiegel, 2018 Figs 8, 9

Hemisphaeroparia spiniger Golovatch et al., 2018: 64 (original description).

New material.

1 ♂ (MRAC 22860), 1 ♂ (SEM, MRAC 22861), Cameroon, Center Region, Mafou and Afamba Division, Mfou, cocoa plantation, 3°48 ’49.6” N, 11°40 ’49.6” E, 24.VII.2019, A.R. Nzoko Fiemapong leg.

Remarks.

The new samples fully agree with the original description (Golovatch et al. 2018) and are again illustrated to confirm the species’ identity (Figs 8, 9), including the remarkably enlarged spiracles 1.

The new locality, Mfou, lies quite close to the type one, campus of University Yaounde 1, both in the Central Region of Cameroon. Moreover, because both known localities/habitats represent artificial palm or cocoa plantations, H. spiniger could have been introduced there from some native woodlands still to be revealed or already vanished.
