Ectomoptera sp.

Distribution: Tanzania, East Usambara Mountains (Ragge 1980).

Habitat: Submontane forest.

Remarks: Ragge (1980) stated that a second species of Ectomoptera is present in the East Usambara Mountains. The Natural History Museum London stores a male and a female of this species. A female belonging to this new species was caught in December 2011 in the Kwamkoro forest reserve near Amani. Once additional material becomes available this new species can be described. Ragge (1980) also mentioned that more species are present in the Shimba Hills of Kenya and in the Tanga area of Tanzania.
