Astictopterus abjecta (Snellen) (Fig. 31, S genitalia)
Cyclopides abjecta Snellen, 1872: 32; pi. 2, figs. 15, 16 (Mouth of the Congo River).
= Seropes furvus Mabille. 1889: 156 (Sierra Leone).
= Cyclopides uniformis Karsch, 1893: 245 ( Bismarckburg, Togo).
= Leptalina niangarensis Holland, 1920: 256; pi. 12, fig. 3 (Niangara, Congo).
A. abjecta is recorded by Evans (1937: 78) from Sierra Leone and Ivory Coast to Angola and the Congo, and Berger (1962: 451) lists a specimen taken in Guinea. It does not appear to be a common species.
The first record from Liberia is Zorzor, 1 $ , XI (Fox).
The only other representative of this species in Carnegie Museum is a paratype of Leptalina niangarensis from the type locality.
