The first species of the small Afrotropical family Ammodesmidae discovered in central Africa (Democratic Republic of the Congo) belongs to the genus Ammodesmus Cook, 1896, which was hitherto known only from two species in western Africa. A key is given to incorporate Ammodesmuscongoensis sp. n., a species also showing an evident sex dimorphism: ♂ densely hirsute, ♀ with much longer and sparser tergal setae.
在中非(刚果民主共和国)发现的小型非洲热带科Ammodesmidae的首个物种属于Ammodesmus Cook属,该属在1896年被发现,此前仅在西非的两个物种中被知晓。给出了一个检索表以收录刚果Ammodesmus congoensis新种,该物种也表现出明显的两性异形:雄性多毛,雌性背板刚毛更长且更稀疏。
