Diagnosis. SIF = 7BS-B-3-3111.0000; fPp = B/B/NNB; PL> AM>AL; fD = 2H-6-6-6-6(5)-4(5)-2(5); DS = 32–35; V = 48–54; NDV = 83–86; palpal femur with sparse puncta; scutal and idiosomal setae heavily barbed; branches of gnathosomal setae very long; scutum small, nearly pentagonal, with sparse puncta; posterior scutal margin weakly prominent, arquate; f 1 behind S 1; f 2 proximal to S 2; Ip = 894. Standard measurements are given in Table 6 View TABLE 6 .
Note. *—after Taufflieb & Mouchet (1959); **—after Taufflieb (1966).
Type deposition. Holotype (60F 2) and five paratypes (60F 1, 3; 60G 14, 15, 16) in MNHN.
Distribution and hosts. This species was described from Cameroon (Yaoundé) ex Praomys tullbergi , Lophuromys sp. , and Grammomys sp. (syn. Thamnomys sp. ) ( Rodentia : Muridae ). Kolebinova & Vercammen-Grandjean (1978) briefly reported its presence in Angola (Dundo) on “insectivores ( Potamogale ) and bats”. The source of this information remains unclear.
Type material examined. Holotype ( MNHN 60 About MNHN F 2) ex Praomys tullbergi , Cameroun-[19]55.
Remarks. Kolebinova & Vercammen-Grandjean (1978) placed this species in Afrotrombicula (Tauffliebicula) , but erroneously used the combination “ Neotrombicula (Tauffliebicula) nyongae ”.
