Rhabdoblatta wittei
(
Jolivet, 1954
)
Blatta assiniensis wittei
Jolivet, 1954: 16
.
Rhabdoblatta wittei
–
Kumar 1975: 82
.
We were unable to observe any specimen from this species, originally described as a subspecies of what is known as
Hebardina assiniensis
(Bolívar, 1893)
, a
Blattidae
, from the
Democratic Republic of Congo
. Thus, the generic assignation of this species to
Rhabdoblatta
is doubtful.
