| Abstract: | "The West African genus Cynisca is reviewed based upon all known specimens from museum collections and recent field collections. Specimens come from Sénégal in the west, to the Central African Republic and Gabon in the east. All existing types were reexamined, diagnoses reformulated, and a key prepared. The study indicates that the genus includes 16 species, two of which, Cynisca williamsi from Ghana and C. senegalensis from Sénégal, are here described as new. Specific diagnoses are based on segmental counts and body proportions, as well as head shield pattern and caudal specializations"--P. 2. |
