Bongeia puncticollis Sjöstedt, 1902 View in CoL
Sjöstedt, 1902, Bihang Kungl. Svenska Vet. Akad. Handl. 27(3): 9; type locality: Cameronn; depository: NHRS, Stocholm (♀ holotypus) .
Material examined. Republic of Congo, Sangha prov. , N-N NP, Bomassa camp (secondary forest) (353m), 02°12’36.9”N, 16°11’30.2”E, 18.VI–3.VII.2022, MV Light Trap, V. Dérozier (1♁) GoogleMaps ; Republic of Congo, Sangha prov. , N-N NP, Mbeli Camp (moist mixed forest) 02°12’48.5”N, 16°23’45.6”E, 25.VI.2022 (370m) MV Light Trap, V. Dérozier (1♀) ( ANHRT) GoogleMaps .
Distribution. Previously known from Cameroon, Central African Republic, Gabon, and Liberia, here recorded also from Republic of Congo ( Massa et al. 2020, Massa, 2021a, 2021b).
Remarks. Considering the affinities between Bongeia puncticollis ( Figs. 6a View FIGURE 6 , 9a View FIGURE 9 , 10d View FIGURE 10 , 11e View FIGURE 11 ) and Itokiia silvarum ( Figs. 6d View FIGURE 6 , 9b View FIGURE 9 , 11f View FIGURE 11 ), the first described from the female and the second the male sex, it is possible that the latter belongs to the same genus as the former, but more material of both taxa is necessary. Griffini (1908) described the male of Bongeia puncticollis and the female of Itokiia silvarum , respectively, and found both to be very similar.
