TL: Republic of the Congo . Thubdora Park is endemic to the Afrotropical region. Park (2018) categorized the species of the genus into two species-groups based on the shape of the uncus of male genitalia: the aciphalla species-group with the uncus not bifur- cated apically and the acutalis species-group with the uncus bifurcated apically. Although the bifurcated condition of the uncus is easily recognized, this characteristic seems to have multiple origins. Thus, while the species-group distinction may not reflect evolutionary relationships, it may help in understanding the evolutionary pattern of the character in the tree. All the species described or previously known are arranged in an alphabetic order herein, following the proposed species-groups.
