[update: 5.iii.2007]
Note: In his original description of Olonia nigroapicata, Jacobi (1928) indicated that he had only a single male available. Constant (pers. comm. 2007) has indicated that the only specimen available amongst Jacobi's material is a female. Because of the possibility that there was other material available, Constant (2006b) has designated a lectotype rather than recognising the single female as a holotype by monotypy.
