Eulioptera longicaudata (Massa, 2017) n. comb.

Dithela longicaudata Massa, 2017 , Zootaxa 4358(3): 403; type locality: Democratic Republic of the Congo, Kalulu (RBINS).

Remarks. This species has the fore coxae unarmed and 3 apical spurs on each side of hind tibiae; it was tentatively ascribed to the genus Dithela Karsch, 1890 by Massa (2017b). On the light of newly described species with unarmed fore coxae ( Hemp & Heller 2019, Naskrecki & Guta 2019, Massa in press), it is here proposed to transfer this species to the genus Eulioptera .

Distribution. E. longicaudata n. comb. has been described from Democratic Republic of Congo, and later has been recorded from north Zambia (Massa in press).
