Distribution
Known from West Africa, this is the first record of this species in
Uganda
and, meanwhile, East Africa.
Synonymization
Based on T. Szȕts’ photos of the
holotype
of
Viciria prenanti
Berland & Millot,
1941
in
Metzner (2023)
, we conclude that this species is identical to
Vicirionessa fuscimama
(Simon, 1903)
, so these names are synonyms.
