Distribution.
Central African Republic

Remarks.
This species was described and illustrated by
Melichar (1912)
but has not been treated since. We provide habitus photos of the
holotype
to help clarify its identity and for comparison to the new African species described above. The abdomen of the
holotype
was previously cleared and glued to a card but the genital capsule appears to be missing.
The following additional new combination is proposed as a result of the new generic synonymy proposed above:
Stirellus dolichocephalus
(
Kirkaldy, 1906
)
,
comb. nov.
(from
Giffardia
)
