Distribution - Bugilliesia notabilis was originally described from Uganda (KlMMINS 1956) and later mentioned from Tanzania (DEMOULIN 1965). Our data constitute the first record of this species for West Africa. Male and female imagoes were collected in other parts of West Africa (mainly Guinea, Mali and Ivory Coast) and are presently housed in our collections (Coll. ORSTOM, leg. J.-M. ELOUARD). A complete list of the localities will be published elsewhere (GATTOLLIAT in prep.). Bugilliesia sp. A Material examined - GHANA: Brong-Abafo Region, Bui camp, Volta, Black Volta, 2°15'W, 8°17'N, 106 m, 5 $$, 01.11.1965 (G097); Central Region, Tafo, Volta, 0°22'W, 6°14'N 198 m, 3 ÇÇJ 0.05.1969 (G350); Ashanti Region, Kumasi, Volta, 1 °36'W, 6°43'N, 293 m, 2 ? $, 31.05.1969 (G364); same locality, 3 $$, 31.05.1969 (G365). All collected by S. ENDRŐDY-YOUNGA. Diagnostic features - During the revision of the Bugilliesia complex in West Africa (GATTOLLIAT in prep.) an undescribed species closely related to B. notabilis was discovered. The two species differ mainly by the shape of the genital forceps. Moreover, female imagoes can be securely separated by the shape of the costal spur of the hindwings and the less well-developed fuscous maculation bordering the cross-veins of forewings. Distribution - This species has been found in Guinea, Ivory Coast and Mali. It seems to have the same distribution in West Africa as B. notabilis. In some localities, both species were present.

Material examined - GHANA: Brong-Abafo Region, Bui camp, Volta, Black Volta, 2°15'W, 8°17'N, 106 m, 1 cT, 01.11.1965 (G097), S. ENDRŐDY-YOUNGA. Diagnostic features - While Cloeodes dentatus is highly distinguishable in the larval and imaginai stages, its generic attribution was a source of misunderstanding until recently. This confusion is partially due to a tentative, but unfortunately incorrect, association between nymph and imago.
