D i a g n o s i s. This species can be recognized from its moderately slender habitus, flagellomere 1 twice as long as wide, truncated apically, often with slightly acute dorsoapical corner (fig. 5, 1, arrow), vertex with one ocellar, one postocellar, long inner vertical seta and short (but present) outer vertical seta, parafacial moderately narrow, at its middle half as wide as flagellomere 1, normally with dark subocular spots; scutellum short and evenly setulose, with 2 pairs of setae but without irregular extra setae between them; femora not thickened; fore and hind femora dorsally with 2–3 suberect setae not longer than femur width at apical half; male surstylus simple and short (fig. 6, 8); wing with pale grey subapical spot in male (fig. 6, 2), much paler and almost inconspicuous in female (fig. 5, 5); vein R 2+3 without stump vein; vein R 4+5 with 3–5 setulae basally on dorsal side; female oviscape narrowly conical, ventrally without humps, setulose fields or other conspicuous modifications, with aperture on ventral side (figs 7, 1, 3); aculeus without basal shoulders (fig. 7, 5).

R e m a r k s. I was unable to find any essential differences between the three species described in the genus Congopyrgota, and consider them conspecific. They are also similar to Prohypotyphla scalaris Hendel, 1934, which is either a sister species differing by its darker mesonotum and slightly different oviscape shape. Congopyrgota is therefore a synonym of Prohypotyphla Hendel, 1934 (see below), and they both are considered to be synonyms of Campylocera .
