Description See Wesołowska & Edwards (2012) (female sub Brancus mondoni , male sub Malloneta guineensis ). Synonymisation Both species were originally described from a single sex only, viz. Malloneta guineensis ( ♂ ) and Viciria mondoni ( ♀ ). Finding both sexes together in the same sample and their morphological similarity (compare Metzner 2021 ) allows us to synonymise the two specific names. Remarks Maloneta does not belong in the Thiratoscirtina Bodner & Maddison, 2012 as it lacks a spine on the female palp. Distribution Sierre Leone, Gabon , Ivory Coast and Nigeria .
