Abstract:

"Three new species of Sonitha Zolotuhin & Prozorov, 2010 are described from recently collected West African material housed in the African Natural History Research Trust: S. smithi sp. n., S. bryoniae sp. n. and S. laszloi sp. n. Taxonomic notes are provided for the hitherto poorly-delimited S. libera (Aurivillius, 1914) and S. chocolatina Zolotuhin & Prozorov, 2010 with clear specific boundaries established for the two taxa."
