Remarks.

Described from Bioko, Fernando Poo (Equatorial Guinea) ( Ebner 1943), it is distinguished from Dapanera irregularis Karsch, 1890 mainly by the cercus shape (Figs 33, 34, 40). This is the first record of the species since its description. The record from Ivory Coast extends its distribution remarkably eastwards. Dapanera eidmanni is also distinguished from Dapanera irregularis by its sub-genital plate, which is similar to that of Dapanera genuteres , little divided and with slender and long styli (compare Fig. 40 with 41 and 42). However, the cerci of Dapanera eidmanni are stout, more similar to those of Dapanera irregularis (compare Figs 33-34 with 35-38).
