Name

  • Bengalia africanoides Rognes, 2012: 58, figs. 174–192
Holotype: MNHN, ♂.
Type locality: Central African Republic: LA MABOKE / 27.VIII.1970 / L. Matile rec.
Etymology: "The specific name “africanoides” is derived from the stem of “africana” with the addition of the Latin suffix “-oides” (meaning like, resembling, in the form of) referring to my immediate (and erroneous) belief that it was the male counterpart of B. africana, based on the female holotype, and the similarity of the two species with respect to the presence of almost only black setulae on the anepimeron."
