Remarks. The species is described from the male holotype collected from Kona on Itimbti river in D.R. Congo and not recorded since ( Kurina & Hippa 2014). The study of more extensive material disclosed a small variation in male terminalia ( Figs 14 A–D), especially in details of the gonostylus and the setigerous lobe dorsally from juxtagonostylar megasetae, which are well exposed in the slide mounts of the newly studied specimens.
