Hemisphaeroparia pretzmanni (Demange & Mauriès, 1975), Mount Tonkoui,
Côte d’Ivoire (Demange and Mauriès 1975). Originally described as Sphaero-
paria pretzmanni Demange & Mauriès, 1975, but it seems to fit best in the genus
Hemisphaeroparia because of clearly showing enlarged and globose gonocoxae,
coupled with each telopodite being strongly sunken inside a deep gonocoel and
leaving one rather long branch partly exposed (Golovatch et al. 2018). This re-
sults in the following formal transfer: Hemisphaeroparia pretzmanni (Demange &
Mauriès, 1975), comb. nov. ex Sphaeroparia.
