Type species: Dogonia saegeri Oldroyd, 1970 , by original designation. Oldroyd (1970: 269) has provided a good description of Dogonia (the name being derived from the locality Mt Ndogo). The genus is easily identified using the key published by Londt (1994), which was partly updated by Dikow and Londt (2000) . Dogonia is easily separated from most of the other Afrotropical Stenopogoninae by its possession of setose anatergites, a character found in only eight of 41 described genera. In addition, Dogonia has a well-developed antennal style (which clearly separates it from Microstylum and Daspletis ) leaving it in a small group of six genera that possess setose anatergites and a well-developed antennal style. Dogonia appears most similar to Dioctobroma as only these two genera have slender occipital setae (others have obvious macrosetae as well as fine setae). These two genera can be separated from each other using various features such as antennal form (i.e. scape and pedicel almost equal in length in Dogonia ; scape clearly longer than pedicel in Dioctobroma ), and male terminalia form (e.g. hypandrium is about as long as epandrial lobes in Dogonia ; hypandrium is less than half the length of epandrial lobes in Dioctobroma ).
