Njarugenje (Central-Ruanda) im Grasland; zwischen Kagera und Mohasisee (Ost-Ruanda), vereinzelt im trocken Busch. Unspecified number of ♂.

The MHNG collection contains parts of at least three specimens in alcohol (MHNG-ARTO-18522). Two of the specimens are broken and two are reinforced with pins; the fragments of one of these are separated in a vial. A second vial contains dissected parts including gonopods. The identification labels in the jar have “Njarugenje”, “ Ruanda J. Carl” and “ types Ruanda J. Carl” written on them respectively, indicating that the specimens are syntypes.
