Kipping, Jens Mézière, Nicolas Odonatologica 2015 44 4 447 678 urn:lsid:zoobank.org:act:03A25264-CADB-FF2E-EF36-FB9C4093FB0F Dijkstra Dijkstra [276,599,1137,1165] Insecta Libellulidae Orthetrum GBIF,CoL Animalia Odonata 194 639 Arthropoda species lusinga sp. nov.    Taxonomy  Genetically nearest to the  saegeri-group (see  O. agaricum sp. nov.), which includes the syntopic  O. kafwi sp. nov.( Tree 8), but has a distinctive hamule shape and is coloured very differently with limited black markings. Treated as a distinct species by Dijkstra & Clausnitzer (2014).    Material studied     Holotype  ♂ . RMNH.INS.505542, Congo-Kinshasa,  Katanga, Upemba National Park, source area of Lusinganear park headquarters, spring streams in gallery forest and adjacent bog, dam and channel,  1760 –1800 ma.s.l. ( 8.933 ° S 27.199 ° E),  15 -xi- 2011, leg. K.-D.B. Dijkstra, RMNH.  Further material.  CONGO-KINSHASA(  Katanga): 4 ♂( RMNH.INS.505475, RMNH.INS.505483, RMNH.INS.505518), 1 ♀( RMNH.INS.505482), as holotype, RMNH.  1 ♂( RMNH.INS.505550), 2 ♀( RMNH.INS.505551), Upemba National Park, Kabwekanono, source area of Kafwi, stream through gallery forest and bogs in open grassy plains,  1770 –1820 ma.s.l. ( 8.937 ° S 27.166 ° E),  15–16 -xi- 2011, leg. K.-D.B. Dijkstra, RMNH.  2 ♂( RMNH.INS.505675), Kundelungu National Park, source area of Lutshipuka, grassy plateau with pools, bog, wet meadows and gallery forest patches,  1680 – 1705ma.s.l. ( 10.58 ° S 27.83 ° E),  23–24 -xi- 2011, leg K.-D.B. Dijkstra, RMNH.    Genetics Four unique haplotypes (n= 7) are distinct from other  saegeri-group species, but one unique haplotype (n = 1) is similar to  O. umbratum sp. nov.( Tree 8).    Male morphological diagnosis Recalls the widespread  O. guineenseRis, 1910and sympatric  O. machadoiLongfield, 1955by (a) moderate size, Hw 28.0– 30.8 mm(n = 7); (b) the absence of cell-doublings in the radial planate and thus a single row of cells there; (c) the pale subcostal Ax at least proximally, although they can be notably dark; and (d) the medium-sized pale brown Pt that are 10–11 % of Hw length, 2.8–3.3 mm. When not pruinose also similar by (e) the thorax lacking whitish stripes; (f) all abdominal segments being brown and variably but generally quite narrowly black on the dorsal carina of S 3–9 and lateral carinae of S 3–8; and (g) the always dark cerci. However, (1) the hook of the hamule has a concave anterior border and a broad and outward-turned tip lying closely against the rather low lobe, i.e., similar to  O. chrysostigma(Burmeister, 1839)but with the sigmoid anterior profile of  O. saegeri( Fig. 31). When not yet pruinose also (2) unlike  O. guineenselacks a black line on the ventral carina of the metepimeron; and (3) unlike  O. machadoiS 6–8 are only narrowly black on the lateral carinae and S 9–10 are largely brown rather than black.    Etymology Named after the headquarters of Upemba National Park at the source of the Lusingastream, the species’ typelocality (noun in apposition).    Range and ecology Found between 1 680 and 1 820 ma.s.l. at boggy spring areas bordering or enclosed by forest on the otherwise grassy Kibara and Kundelungu Plateaus of Katanga( Map 11). 3396361305 2011-11-15 RMNH K. - D.
