Notes.

Found only at Mtondoni (Table 2). The genital anatomy conforms exactly with that of Striosubulina striatella as figured by Schileyko (1999), though the bursa copulatrix is less voluminous. A tropical West African species, Striosubulina striatella has been widely introduced including to the Mascarenes ( Griffiths and Florens 2006). This appears to be the first record from East Africa.
