Type locality: Tanzania, Dar Es Salam.

Material examined

Holotype TANZANIA • ♀; “Musée du Congo; Dar Es Salam; Apr. 1931; sur plage saltonneuse, à fond de lame; Dr. M. Bequart leg.; R. Det. O 3092; Thinophilus quadrisetus n.sp., Type ♀ O. Parent”; RMCA.

Notes

The species is known only from type female, which is remarkable in bearing two pairs of almost equal in length bristles on the scutellum. Two males and three females from the National Park Albert (= Virunga), DR Congo, were found in the RMCA collection under the label “ Thinophilus quadrisetus , det. Vanschuytbroeck”; one male belongs to T. splendidus and other material to T. imperialis . The species once reported from this country by Vanschuytbroeck (1951) must be excluded from the fauna of the Democratic Republic of the Congo.
