Abstract

The first complete overview of the African fauna of Lispe is published. The paper consists of 3 parts. (1) The alphabetical list of 55 taxa of the African fauna is given with references, distribution data and, where necessary, taxonomic remarks or descriptions. (2) Addendum with 26 African taxa of Lispe which are not included in the main alphabetical list (as synonymies or for other reasons). (3) Identification key for Lispe of Africa. The paper is illustrated with 47 figures. Six new taxa of Lispe are described: Lispe alkaline sp. nov.; Lispe andrefana sp. nov; Lispe confusa sp. nov.; Lispe patersoni sp. nov.; Lispe polonaise sp. nov.;. Lispe selena sp. nov. Nine new taxonomic statuses in genus Lispe are proposed: Lispe flavicornis Stein, 1909 = L. silvai Paterson, 1953 syn. nov.; L. niveimaculata Stein, 1906 = L. sineseta Zielke, 1971, syn. nov.; L. pectinipes Becker, 1903 = L. xantophlebia Seguy, 1950, syn. nov.; L. scalaris Loew, 1847 = L. flavipes Stein, 1913 syn. nov.; L. wittei Paterson, 1956 = L. ethiopica Vikhrev, 2012, syn. nov.; L. geniseta macfiei Emden, 1941= L. macfiei Emden, 1941, stat. nov.; L. geniseta setigena Vikhrev et Pont, 2016 = L. setigena Vikhrev et Pont, 2016, stat. nov.; L. ochracea Becker, 1910 = L. canis Malloch, 1922 stat. nov.; L. tentaculata draperi Seguy, 1933 = L. draperi Seguy, 1933, stat. nov.
