Abstract
The genus Capicua Navas, 1921, synonymised with Geyria Esben-Petersen, 1920 by Stange (2004), is reinstated and re-described. The unique specimen of Capicua fitlvicauda Navas, 1921 kept in the Museum d'Histoire Naturelle, Paris is designated as lectotype. Two new species of antlions from West Africa are described and tentatively included in Capicua pending more material of the type species C.fulvicauda to verify this placement. Holotypes and paratypes are deposited in the collection of CIRAD/CBGP inMontpellier, France.
