This is the first species of Muntezumia described from 

 Africa, and is very typical of the genus as defined by 

 Saussure. Any mention of the small p:id of pubescence on 

 abdominal sternite 2 seems to have bsen omitted in 

 Saussure's description of M. indica ; a similar pad is present 

 in both that species and M. ivallacei, M. -Waldo.
