Coli (Quebo) (11º 37´01.53´´ N, 14º 46´12.23´´ W, 45 m alt) ( TOB), 9.VII.1995, 1 female, LT, A. Serrano leg., ASC. Banhinda (P.N. T. Cacheu) (12º 12´16.67´´ N, 16º 02´56.45´´ W, 25 m alt.)

Remarks. The species is distributed throughout western Africa ( Facchini 2011; Lorenz 2021). It was previously reported for Guinea-Bissau as Arsinoe sp. by Serrano (2009a). The adult specimens, all females from different localities of Guinea-Bissau, match very well the description of this species (see Facchini 2011). The specimens were captured by LT within semi-humid forests ( QUN localities) and open secondary forests (Coli and Banhinda) at the beginning of the wet season ( Table 1 View TABLE 1 ). It is a new species record for Guinea-Bissau.
