Abstract
- Two new species of the genus Dollmania Tams, 1930 are described: Dollmania lola sp. n. from Ivory Coast and Dollmania reggie sp. n. from Somalia. Two new junior subjective synonyms, Dollmania purpurascens (Aurivillius, 1909) syn. n. and Dollmania plinthochroa Tams, 1930 syn. n., are established for Dollmania cuprea (Distant, 1897) based on results of molecular analysis. Thus, D. cuprea has the largest distribution in the genus including: Republic of South Africa, Zimbabwe, Mozambique, Malawi, Zambia, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Tanzanian Dollmania marwitzi (Strand, 1913) stat. rev. and Dollmania reussi (Strand, 1913) stat. rev. previously considered to be synonyms of D. purpurascens are raised back to the species level based on results of molecular analysis. Female genitalia of all species are illustrated for the first time. Adults, their genitalia, maps with collecting sites, phylogenetic tree, and matrix with p-distances are illustrated as well.
