Hemisphaeroparia boletiphora (Mauriès, 1968), Gabon (Mauriès 1968). Origi-
nally described as Mecistoparia (Mabocus) boletiphora Mauriès, 1968, it definitely
belongs to Hemisphaeroparia as it shows not only ♂ epicranial modifications and
conspicuously enlarged spiracles next to coxa 1 or 2, but also clearly enlarged and
globose gonocoxae, the telopodites being strongly sunken inside a deep gonocoel
and leaving at least two exposed branches (Golovatch et al. 2018). This formally
results in the following new transfer: Hemisphaeroparia boletiphora (Mauriès,
1968), comb. nov. ex Mecistoparia.
