Tachydromia sp.

Figs 9–11

In having wing bands joined along the costa (on cell r 1), brownish femora and tibiae and similar male terminalia (even the right surstylus with a notch), these specimens may belong to T. petrabilis . However, there are some differences in the length of the last dorsocentral and lateral scutal setae, and in the shape of the right surstylus. The true status of these specimens will be clear when additional material is available and the variability of these characters noted is understood.

Material examined: DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC OF CONGO (DRC): ơ Congo belge: P.N.A., Kanyabayongo (Kabasha), 1760 m, 11.xii.1934, G.F. de Witte: 905 ( ISNB). UGANDA: ơ Mt Elgon , 2135 m, 4–8.xii.1972, H. Falke ( CNCI) .
