By:   Mervyn Mansell
Comment:   This splendid species is a central and North African taxon. It is known from Benin, Burkina Faso, DRC, Ghana, Mali, Niger, Nigeria, Senegal. Its closest relative is Lachlethetes moestus, which is largely a southern African species. Their distributions do not overlap. Nothing is known of its immature stages. A first for the Lacewing Map.
