Bengalia spinifemorata species-group

The following species is transferred to the B. spinifemorata species-group from its original position in the B. peuhi species-group (Afridigaliinae of Lehrer) on account of the structure of the distiphallus. There are no dorsolateral wings, and no antlers. There is clearly a veil and an associated veil process, a flat, transverse and forwardly facing hypophallic lobe on each side, and a very narrow opening of the ejaculatory duct on the tip of a tube-like structure reminiscent of the beak in the other B. spinifemorata group members (cf. Rognes 2011a).
