Remarks —This insufficiently known species was named after Kálmán Kittenberger who appeared as K. Katona on specimen labels. The type specimen was destroyed in 1956 during the revolution in Budapest ( Földvári and Papp 2007). Hardy (1949 a) based his description on the original Kertész (1907) article, since he did not study the type either.

Distribution— Tanzania.
