Callistocilla sp. 1

Fig. 20C–E

Material examined (total 1 ♂, 2 ♀♀)

TANZANIA • 1 ♂, 2 ♀♀; Morogoro Region, Kanga Mts, Kanga Forest Reserve; 400–500 m a.s.l.; 22–25 Nov. 1984; N. Scharff leg.; lowland rain forest; NHMD 1184571 .

Remarks

These specimens agree closely with the original description of C. beatrix (Hoffman 1977), except for the presence of very small ozopores (Fig. 20C–D) and tiny small gonopod details. This species, too, shares the peculiar paranotal microsculpture seen in C. dolorotrix and C. beatrix (Fig. 20E).

Identification of Chelodesmidae from the Udzungwa Mountains

As mentioned in the introduction, no useful diagnosis of the family Chelodesmidae is available. For identification of chelodesmids from the Udzungwa Mts it is therefore necessary to single out differences between this family and each other polydesmidan family occurring in the Udzungwas. Table 4 provides this information.
