Paronella lamottei Delamare Debouteville, 1950b : 43 -44 , figs 1-6 (Mt Nimba, Guinea ). Dicranocentruga lamottei – Mitra 2002c: 114 . TYPE LOCALITY. — Mt Nimba , Guinea . DISTRIBUTION. — Guinea . REMARKS This species has not been reported again since the original description. The only additional relevant citation is that by Mitra (2002c) , in which he transferred it to the genus Dicranocentruga . Paronella lamottei is placed in Trogolaphysa based on the shape of the mucro and absence of manubrial spines. However, this species approaches Paronella /Trychorypha atrofasciata in the presence of relatively long antennae and in having the manubrium distinctly longer than the dens, and it ultimately may belong to that species/genus group. Paronella lamottei is characterized by a long and thin body, with relatively long antennae, which is common in cave forms but atypical for surface Trogolaphysa ; body white, except for lateral margins of the mesothorax to the 1 st abdominal segment and tibiotarsi; 1 st antennal segment white, but all other segments dark blue; tenet hair relatively long and strongly spatulate; unguis with 4 inner teeth; unguiculus lanceolate; dens with two rows of spines; and mucro with 4 teeth. This species should be easy to recognize by its general habitus and color pattern ( Fig. 5I ).
