Spilogona pectinisetodes Emden 1951

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).
