Remarks: The species has a scattered distribution throughout western, central, and southern Africa (Serrano 2009a; Lorenz 2021). The adult specimens of Coli (Quebo) identified as L. trimaculatus, after a new careful analysis, was revealed to belong to a new species of the genus Dontolobus Basilewsky, 1970 (see D. bivari n. sp.). The adult specimen was captured by LT within a semi-humid forest at the beginning of the wet season (Table 1). It is a new species record for QUN Administrative Region, Guinea-Bissau.
