This

Louis Albert Péringuey
, former director of the
South African Museum. Presently
, it is not deposited in the collections of that museum.
It
was not found in any of the main world museums (including the
Natural History Museum in London

Natural History Museum of Paris
,
France
, where the
Kieffer

Probably
this specimen has to be considered lost

Remarks
. The original description is not sufficient to permit the identification of this species, or to include it in the key to the
♀♀
of the Afrotropical
Gonatopus
. Therefore we include it among the
incertae sedis
species.
