Lichtwardtia fractinervis (Parent, 1929) (in part): Grichanov, 1998: 233. DISTRIBUTION . Type locality: Ghana : "Obuasi Ashanti ". DR Congo , Ghana . NOTES. Grichanov (1998) noted variability of the L. fractinervis material studied. Nevertheless, the latest descriptions of new species (Grichanov, 2004; Tang et al ., 2018; this paper) clearly testify that the Figures 29–30 (Parent, 1939) do not correspond with the species concept of L. fractinervis proposed by Parent (1937) and figured by Grichanov (1998: Figs 1 , 11 ). So, I raise here L. microlepis from synonymy. It is apparently a sibling species with L. nikolaevae , differing from the latter in M 4 as long as dm-m ; antenna entirely yellow, slightly darker at apex; postpedicel distinctly longer than high, with pointed apex; male cercus higher than long (after Parent, 1939).
