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) .
