    Genus <i>Bandeirenica</i> Kraus, 1960 <p> <i>Bandeirenica</i>: Kraus 1960: 19–20; Hoffman 2000.</p> <p> Type species: <i>Spinotarsus bandeirensis</i> Kraus, 1958, by original designation.</p> <p> Diagnosis: Paraprocts without spines, but wrinkled in dorsal part (Fig. 78, <i>pa</i>). Gonopod tarsus tube-like, solenomere with long slender spinous process at base of distal quarter (Fig. 77, <i>tp2)</i> and with triangular process near apex (Fig. 77, <i>tp1</i>).</p> <p> Distribution: Two species, <i>B</i>. <i>bandeirenica</i> (Kraus, 1958) and <i>B. donguensis</i> (Kraus 1958), are known from southeast Angola. One species, <i>B. caboverda</i> (Pierrad, 1987), was accidently introduced to the Cape Verde islands, probably from Angola, and acts as a crop pest for potatoes (Hoffman 2000).</p> <p> Remarks: Kraus (1960) described this genus and distinguished it from the extremely species-rich <i>Spinotarsus</i> on the basis of the latter genus having a typical basal lamella on the gonopod tarsus that is lacking in <i>Bandeirenica</i>. Hoffman (2000) discussed the presence or absence of this process as being of specific value only and suggested that <i>Bandeirenica</i> be synonymised under <i>Syndesmogenus</i>.</p>Published as part of <i>Vohland, Katrin & Hamer, Michelle, 2013, A review of the millipedes (Diplopoda) of Namibia, with identification keys and descriptions of two new genera and five new species, pp. 251 in African Invertebrates 54 (1)</i> on page 29
