Galepsus sp.1 ( Figs 2 View FIGURE 2 F, 9A)
Sampling. NNP.3—Four males (GSMC004684, GSMC004686, GSMC004688, GSMC4691). NNP.4—Four males (GSMC004679–80, GSMC004687, GSMC4690).
Distribution. Species within the genus Galepsus range across the African continent.
Comments. The species Galepsus fallax ( La Greca, 1955) is previously recorded in Rwanda, but as we were unable to make a species level determination on these specimens, they will be referred to as Galepsus sp.
Galepsus sp.2 ( Figs 2 View FIGURE 2 G, 9B–C)
Sampling. NNP.3—Two males (GSMC004682–3) and four females (GSMC004380, GSMC004599, GSMC004677–8).
Galepsus sp.3 ( Fig. 9 View FIGURE 9 D)
Sampling. ANP.1—One male (GSMC004685).
Galepsus sp.4 ( Fig. 10 View FIGURE 10 A)
Sampling. ANP.1—One male (GSMC004689).
Galepsus sp. (nymphs)
Sampling. ANP.1—Three nymphs (GSMC004906–8). ANP.2—15 nymphs (GSMC004380, GSMC004945– 57, GSMC004599).
Pyrgomantis nana Sjöstedt, 1924 ( Figs 3 View FIGURE 3 I, 8C–D)
Sampling. ANP.1—One female (GSMC004574) and 14 nymphs (GSMC004892-905). ANP.2—Eight males (GSMC00437–9, GSMC004333–4, GSMC004577–9), seven females (GSMC004324, GSMC004322, GSMC004328, GSMC004336, GSMC004338, GSMC004575–6), and 64 nymphs (GSMC004325, GSMC004344, GSMC004416, GSMC004580–1, GSMC004878–98, GSMC4909–45, GSMC005010).
Distribution. Species within the genus Pyrgomantis range across the African continent. Pyrgomantis nana is previously recorded in Burundi, the Democratic Republic of Congo, and Rwanda.
Comments. While identification of this species is certain based on genital dissections, revisionary work for the genus is needed as most species do not have their male genitalia described.
Oxyelaea elegans Giglio-Tos, 1917 ( Figs 2 View FIGURE 2 A–B, 7B–D)
Sampling. ANP.3—Three males (GSMC004692–3, GSMC005129), two females (GSMC004694, GSMC005121), and 16 nymphs (GSMC004834–49)
Distribution. Species within the genus Oxyelaea have been recorded in Congo, Kenya, Tanzania, Somalia, and Uganda, but O. elegans is the first species within the genus recorded in Rwanda. Oxyelaea elegans is previously recorded in Congo and Tanzania.
Observations. Males from NNP ( Fig. 7 View FIGURE 7 B) were found to have slight differences in coloration from those in ANP ( Fig. 7 View FIGURE 7 C).
Tarachodes sanctus ( Saussure, 1871) ( Figs 2 View FIGURE 2 C–E, 8A–B)
Sampling. ANP.1—Two males (GSMC004596, GSMC004598) and two nymphs (GSMC004600-1). ANP.2— Two males (GSMC004690–1) and four nymphs (GSMC004585, GSMC004594, GSMC004602, GSMC004958). ANP.3—Three males (GSMC004692–4) and one female (GSMC004877).
Distribution. Species within the genus Tarachodes range across the African continent, but T. sanctus is the first species within the genus recorded in Rwanda. Tarachodes sanctus is previously recorded in Congo, Mozambique, Natal, Somalia, Tanzania, Transvaal, Zululand, and Zimbabwe.
