Bukoba; Biaramuli (Ost-Ussuwi); Kagera, durch Südkaragwe bis Mabira. Unspecified number of ♂ and ♀.

The MHNG collection contains 36 specimens in alcohol in three jars. One jar (MHNG-ARTO-18489) contains 20 specimens, two of them separated into a vial with their dissected gonopods. Three of the specimens have pins running part of the length of the body and several are broken. The identification labels in the jar have “Biaramuli (Ost-Ussuwi) Dr J. Carl” and “ types O.-Ussuwi J. Carl” written on them respectively, indicating that the specimens are syntypes. An undated typewritten note in the jar states that Hoffman identified the specimens as Rhamphidarpina [sic] dorsosulcata . The second jar (MHNG-ARTO-18490) contains parts of at least 14 specimens, most of them broken. The identification labels in the jar are not original and have “Bukoba” typed on them, suggesting that the specimens are syntypes. The third jar (MHNG-ARTO-18491) contains two specimens, each with a pin running the length of the body. The identification labels in the jar have “ Odontopyge dorsosulcata ?” written on them, and “ Jinja (Busoga) Dr J. Carl” and “ Jinja Dr J. Carl” written on them respectively. Given the uncertain identification, these specimens are not considered syntypes. There are three syntypes in the ZMUH ( Weidner, 1960) and three in the MCZL.
