Epiphallus (Fig. 15 Q): bridge narrow, short and arched; ancorae small, close together and with acute apex; lophi short, broad and lobiform; lateral plates broad and rounded; anterior and posterior projections short. Phallic complex (Fig. 15 R – T): dorsal arch of the cingulum V-shaped, strongly open not overlying the endophallic sclerites; latero-ventral sclerite broad, subtriangular; zygoma wide; apodemes of the cingulum long, reaching the apex of the endophallic apodemes; lower ectophallic sheath not enveloping the base of the rami; upper ectophallic sheath globular, sloping forward.</p><p>Female: Similar to the male but larger; supra-anal plate conical with a transverse groove in the middle field; posterior edge of the subgenital plate projecting; cercus conical with angular apex; dorsal valves of the ovipositor weakly toothed; base of the spermathecal duct widened well before it opened into the copulatory bursa; spermatheca ampulla relatively thin; distal, recurrent trunk of the spermatheca lateral diverticulum&gt; 3 × longer than the proximal trunk.</p><p>Remarks.</p><p>Pteropera verrucigena was originally described from Barombi station (southwest Cameroon) with some paratypes recorded between Kumba-Mamfé (Southwest Cameroon) by Karsch (1891).
