Spilogona pectinisetodes
Emden, 1951
(
Figs 17–20
)
Holotype
female seen.
Specimen
a little dirty and pin a little rusty close to the specimen.
The
species was described from the
holotype
female from
Nigeria
.
Three
males from
Zaria
(
Samaru
,
Nigeria
) are deposited at
BMNH
collection, and one of them was dissected and illustrated.

Male terminalia
. Sternite 5 more or less square and with scattered medium-sized setae on disc and longer setae on lobes (
Fig. 17
); cercal plate elogated, higher than wide and surstylus straight, as long as cercal plate (
Figs 18, 19
); cercal plate and surstylus are typical of the genus
Spilogona
and resemble those of many Holarctic species; aedeagal complex as in
Fig. 20
; hypandrium tubular, which is a typical feature of the tribe
Coenosiini
but which is also found in a few species of
Spilogona
such as the Holarctic
S. contractifrons
(Zetterstedt)
.
