( Figs. 57–61 ; Tab. 6)

Speonemobius litoreus Vannini & Chelazzi, 1978 . Monitore Zoologico Italiano. (N.S.) Supplemento 11(1):2

Distribution. Africa, Northeast Tropical Africa, Somalia, Sar Uanle cliff (type locality)

Material examined: Male and female paratypes from Museo Zoologico of the University of Florence .

Description complement. Measurements, missing from original description are given ( Table 5).

Female SGP distal margin with a deep V-shaped emargination ( Fig. 61 ).

Remark. The habitat of this species has been comprehensively described by Vannini & Chelazzi (1978). This habitat is strikingly similar to the type locality of Malakapobius aigrettensis n. gen., n. sp. This remarkable publication also provides the first record of the song from a Burcini which is similar to the song of Gabusibius ndzilu n. gen. n. sp. ( Figs. 28–34 ).
