Durioniella I. Bolivar, 1908a

Durioniella I. Bolívar, 1908a: 100.

Type species.

- Duronia fracta Krauss, 1890: 260 (I. Bolívar 1908a), by original designation; (but given as Duroniella lucasii (I. Bolívar, 1881) by subsequent designation in OSF ( Cigliano et al. 2018)).

Description.

-As in description of genus group and key to genera.

Discussion.

-A widespread genus of a dozen or so closely related species, some of which are possibly synonyms. Genus in need of revision. Only species so far recorded in East Africa is Duroniella acuta Uvarov, 1952. The reduced arolia correlate with the marked geophilous tendencies of members of the genus.
