Diagnosis.
Suggested by
Malicky (1993)
to be a member of subgenus
Argyrobothrus
in
Oxyethira
with members of which it shares the curious phallic structure, but in other features this species is most closely similar to
Ox. minima
Kimmins 1951
, from
Myanmar
, which also shares the arrangement of small rounded inferior appendages and a short, rounded ventral plate.
Distribution.
Described from the
Seychelles
and here reported from
Angola
.
Remarks.
Specimens from
Guinea
and
Mali
described and illustrated by
Gibon (1987b)
as ‘
Stenoxyethira
cf.
minima’
, resemble this species closely, and possibly could also represent
Ox. sechellensis
.
