It is separated from + +L. eketi + +by the +Cameroon +highlands, although Manki and the Rhoko forest are only about +260 km +apart. + + + + +Facies ( +Plate 1 +: E–H) + + +Male +holotypes +of both subspecies were shown in the original description (upper side, two-thirds the actual size) and in + +d'Abrera +(2009: 653) + +, and their comparison appears to confirm the validity of the +Kenyan +subspecies. +However +, there are now about +fifty specimens +of the +Kakamega +subspecies in ABRI, several of which are hardly different from the nominate subspecies. + + +The upper side of + +L. kiellandi + +is very variable and not very different, either from + +L. seyboui + +, or from + +L. eketi + +, but the wide black margin along the costal edge of forewings makes it more similar to + +L. seyboui + +. + + +On the underside of the hindwings, the widening of the second pale transversal band is more strongly marked in + +L. kiellandi + +than in the other two species, and forms a discoid spot around the middle of spaces 4 and 5; on the costal edge, the spot in space 7 is also larger. + + +It was probably the existence of the discoid spot that prompted +Vande Weghe (2010: 349) +to compare + +L. kiellandi + +to + +L. praestans +Grose-Smith, 1901 + +and, looking at the underside of the hindwings only, the two species could indeed be confused, especially in the +Kivu +area of the +DRC +, where + +L. praestans + +is not rare. However, both the upper side of + +L. praestans + +and male genitalia are very different from those of + +L. kiellandi + +. + + +Given +the variability of specimens from different populations, especially for the extension of the orange part on the upper side of hindwings, the +DRC +population cannot be considered as a distinct subspecies. +Furthermore +, it is uncertain whether a female of the +DRC +population has ever been captured, because dissection has shown that +three specimens +in the Ducarme collection identified as females from a photo were actually males. + + +Since the abdomens of several specimens from ABRI had been lost during transport, it has not been possible to compare the genitalia of the males of the Cameroon population to those of the more easterly populations +. +Paradoxically, the only female formally identified as such is from the Cameroon population, i.e. the Manki specimen (Figs 13–14 show its genitalia). + +Vande Weghe +( +2010 + +, pl. +106 +) illustrates two of these specimens, one as male (Figs +41–42 +), the other as a female (Figs 43–44), but the latter is identical to the male from Minziro which was dissected for this work, and it is not certain whether it is female. + + +Male genitalia ( +Figs 8 +–12) + + +The figures show the genitalia of a male nominate + +kiellandi + +from the type-locality. The genitalia of the population from Kasugho (NE +DRC +) and of subspecies +kakamegae +(W +Kenya +) are identical to those of nominate + +kiellandi + +. All genitalia dissected were significantly larger than those of + +L. eketi + +(about 25%). + + +The saccus, as massive as in + +L. eketi + +, confirms the proximity of the two species; at the distal end, the curled up part has two rounded lateral rounded processes (Figs 11–12), but there is no notch, and we cannot speak here of a guide for the penis (Fig. 12). At the distal end of the valves, the internal process is not very different from that of + +L. eketi + +, but the distal one is very reduced, almost vestigial ( +Fig. 8 +, 10 & 12); on the other hand, the dorsal edge of the valves shows a short, pointed process, which is absent in + +L. eketi + +( +Fig. 8 +). The uncus is slightly more indented than in + +L. eketi + +(Fig. 9), and the distal part of the subunci is shorter ( +Fig. 8 +). The penis, appreciably longer, is hardly curved ( +Fig. 8 +); it is not really twisted, but its distal end is turned slightly to the left (Fig. 10). + +Female genitalia (Figs 13–14) + +As mentioned above, only the female from Manki ( +Cameroon +) was dissected. + +The ostium bursae is located between sternites 6 and 7 (Fig. 13); the strongly sclerotized sternite 7 is constituted by the three plates that form the sinus aginalis, a ventral plate and two lateral ones (Fig. 13). + + + +1 + +– They are mentioned in Congdon & Collins, 1998, p. 68 as +L. +sp., and p. 119 as + +L. pseudofulvicans + +(unpublished manuscript name); the specimen from Bugoma, which was caught in +December 1939 +, is probably the oldest specimen known. + + + + +Figs 8 to 14 +– Genitalia of + +Liptena kiellandi + + +Male genitalia: 8 – left lateral view; 9 – dorsal view of uncus; 10 – dorsal view of the valves processes and the penis; 11 – saccus, ventral view; 12 – posterior view of the saccus and the valves processes.

The sclerotization of sternite 8 is extremely reduced (Fig. 13). The ductus bursae is very short, but the bursae copulatrix is a rather voluminous ball; folded above the lateral plates, it considerably hinders their observation [this is why it is illustrated on a three-quartered view (Fig. 14)]. +DNA barcode analysis + +Almost all of the material examined for this work is too old for barcode sequencing to have been attempted, and the only sequence obtained was extracted from a male of + +L. kiellandi + +from +Kivu +(Maliva, in the north of the Mitumba Mountains).

Dorsum and venter uniformly brown, head comparatively slightly darker. Mouthparts, antennae, palps, and legs brownish testaceous. Head transversely ovoid, glossy dorsally and ventrally, with rather small, distinctly ovoid compound eyes which are not protruding beyond lateral or dorsal outline of head. Head rounded in broad arc posterior to eyes. Head dorsal punctures minute and inconspicuous but rather deep. Intervening spaces 4–6 × as wide as diameter of punctures. Head dorsal setae inconspicuous, moderately dense, whitish to yellowish. Antenna reach base of pronotum when directed posteriad. Antennomere 3 subequal in length to antennomere 2, antennomeres 6 and 7 approximately as long as wide, 8–10 transverse, of which 9–10 strongly so. Terminal antennomere strongly asymmetrically triangular with rounded apex, ~ 1.5–1.6 × as long as penultimate antennomere. Terminal maxillary palpomere securiform. Pronotum stout, moderately glossy dorsally and laterally, narrower than head across compound eyes, with broad, medially distinctly notched (in dorsal view) postmedian lateral constriction. Front margin of anterior lobe very broadly rounded, dorsally without modifications and anterior rim. Anterior lobe barely convex in lateral view (Fig. +1 B +). Lateral constriction barely continues onto pronotal disc in lateral view (Fig. +1 B +). Lateral pronotal fovea moderately broad at lower (lateroventral) extent of laterally strongly declivous pronotal disc, somewhat widens upwards towards pronotal disc in lateral view, lateral edges of fovea carinate, narrowly separated (all in lateral view), denticle-like in dorsal view. In lateral view anterior and posterior edge of pronotal fovea covered with bristle of short golden setae except at their lower extent. Cavity in lateral wall of pronotum between lateral denticles moderate, deep. In dorsal view, lateral pronotal fovea moderately wide, anterior and posterior denticle poorly visible, glabrous. Pronotal punctures on disc similar to those on head dorsum; lateral constriction dorsally with dense, large, irregularly circular punctures with corrugate backgrounds separated by much less than puncture diameters. Dorsal pronotal setae similar to those on head dorsum, denser on lateral sides of pronotum. Few longer erect tactile setae on lateral sides of anterior lobe. Scutellar shield minute, apically rounded, glabrous, and glossy. Elytra moderately glossy, dorsally elliptical, slightly convex in lateral view, strongly widened laterally around midlength, lateral margins broadly rounded, humerus obsolete (apterous species). Elytral punctures much stronger and larger than those on dorsal forebody, more or less regularly circular, smaller, and less coarse than dorsal punctures on pronotal constriction. Punctures flatter but not much sparser on apical third of elytra. Intervening spaces ~ 1.5–2 × as wide as diameter of punctures. Elytral setae long and sparse, suberect, yellowish. Male tergite and sternite VII broadly rounded at posterior margin. Sternite IX rod-like, strongly sinuous (Fig. +2 A +). Aedeagus as in Fig. +2 B – H +, thick and bulbous in basal portion, narrowing towards subtruncate apex. Endophallic armature of numerous minute, peculiarly tack-shaped spines in apical part and, in basal portion, with large, pebble-like sclerites arranged in a kind of garland and intermixed with dense spines filling intervening spaces between sclerites (Fig. +2 B – E +). + + + + + + + +Macrotomoderus blinsteini + +sp. nov. +A +holotype ♂, habitus, dorsal view +B +ditto, lateral view +C +ditto, dorsal forebody +D +paratype ♀, pronotum, posterodorsal view.

Dorsum and venter brown, posterior lobe of pronotum slightly paler. Mouthparts, antennae, palps, and legs brownish testaceous. Head subtriangular, moderately glossy dorsally and ventrally, with moderate, slightly ovoid compound eyes which are slightly protruding beyond lateral outline of head. Tempus short, constricted towards head base, temporal angle rounded. Head base truncate, declivous. Head dorsal punctures minute and inconspicuous, flat. Intervening spaces much wider than punctures. Head dorsal setae yellowish, short, moderately dense. Head base medially with somewhat longer, apically curled golden setae. Antenna exceeds slightly beyond base of elytra when directed posteriad. Antennomere 3 ~ 2 × as long as antennomere 2, asymmetrical, distal edge obliquely emarginate to accommodate shortened and only slightly longer than wide antennomere 4, antenna appears somewhat bent at area of antennomeres 3–5 (Fig. +5 A, B, F +). Antennomeres 8–10 transverse, of which antennomere 10 strongly so. Terminal antennomere strongly asymmetrically triangular with rounded apex, ~ 1.8–1.9 × as long as penultimate antennomere. Terminal maxillary palpomere securiform. Pronotum stout, moderately glossy dorsally and laterally, much wider than head across compound eyes, with moderately broad, medially strongly notched (in dorsal view) postmedian lateral constriction. Anterior lobe much wider than posterior, its front margin medially subtruncate, without anterior rim, with moderate mesal impression and transverse median ridge covered with dense golden setae which are directed antero-dorsally (Fig. +5 C – E +). Pronotum flattened anteroventrally each side of subtruncate median part of its anterior margin (Fig. +5 D, E +). Anterior lobe convex in lateral view (Fig. +5 B +). Lateral constriction barely continues onto disc in lateral view (Fig. +5 B +). Lateral pronotal fovea broad at lower (lateroventral) extent of laterally strongly declivous pronotal disc, not or barely widens upwards towards pronotal disc, lateral edges of fovea carinate, narrowly separated, nearly glabrous (all in lateral view), in dorsal view denticle-like. In lateral view anterior and posterior edge of pronotal fovea covered with a bristle of moderately long whitish setae. In dorsal view, lateral pronotal fovea wide, anterior and posterior denticle clearly visible, in part setose (Fig. +5 A, C +). There is an inconspicuous trace of short dorsal median longitudinal carina in lateral constriction area. Pronotal punctures on disc small and sparse, intervening spaces 5–8 × as wide as diameter of punctures; lateral constriction dorsally with irregularly ovoid and variably dense, deep punctures. Intervening spaces among punctures in laterally constricted area vary from much narrower than to twice as wide as punctures. Dorsal pronotal setae short and dense, much longer and denser at lateral pronotal fovea, in part concealing its structure in dorsal view. Few longer erect tactile setae on lateral sides of anterior lobe. Scutellar shield minute, apically rounded, moderately glossy. Elytra moderately glossy, dorsally elongate elliptical, moderately convex in lateral view, widened laterally around midlength, lateral margins broadly rounded, humerus broadly rounded. Metathoracic wings fully developed (functional). Elytral punctures stronger and larger than those on dorsal forebody, nearly as large as those on lateral constriction area, more or less regularly circular. Punctures becoming more flat and somewhat sparser on apical third of elytra. Intervening spaces ~ 2.5–4 × as wide as diameter of punctures. Elytral setae long and moderately dense, suberect, yellowish. Male tergite and sternite VII broadly rounded at posterior margin.

Head and pronotum brown, elytra pale brown. Mouthparts, antennae, palps, and legs pale brownish – testaceous. Head ovoid, moderately glossy dorsally and ventrally, with moderate, nearly circular compound eyes which are slightly protruding beyond lateral outline of head. Head rounded in broad arc posterior to eyes. Head dorsal punctures minute but rather deep, denser on occiput and vertex. Intervening spaces 2–4 × as wide as punctures. Head dorsal setae yellowish, inconspicuous on most of head dorsum but long and dense, forming a subconical bristle (in dorsal view) at head base and therefore concealing median part of anterior pronotal margin. Apical portions of these long head – base setae are curled and in part tangled (Fig. +3 B, C +). Antenna exceeds slightly beyond base of elytra when directed posteriad. Antennomere 3 subequal in length to antennomere 2, antennomeres 6–10 transverse, of which 8–10 strongly so. Terminal antennomere asymmetrically triangular with rounded apex, ~ 1.6 × as long as penultimate antennomere. Terminal maxillary palpomere securiform. Pronotum stout, moderately glossy dorsally and laterally, approximately as wide as head across compound eyes, with broad, medially strongly notched (in dorsal view) postmedian lateral constriction. Anterior lobe much wider than posterior, its front margin broadly rounded, dorsally without modifications and anterior rim. Anterior lobe nearly flat in lateral view (Fig. +3 B +). Lateral constriction does not continue onto disc in lateral view (Fig. +3 B +). Lateral pronotal fovea wide at lower (lateroventral) extent of laterally strongly declivous pronotal disc, not widens upwards towards pronotal disc in lateral view, lateral edges of fovea carinate, moderately separated and densely setose (all in lateral view), in dorsal view denticle-like. In lateral view anterior and posterior edge of pronotal fovea completely covered with bristle of short golden setae. Cavity in lateral wall of pronotum moderate. In dorsal view, lateral pronotal fovea wide, anterior and posterior denticle clearly visible, dense brush-like setose (Fig. +3 A, C +). Pronotal punctures on disc similar to those on head dorsum, intervening spaces 3–7 × as wide as punctures; lateral constriction dorsally with irregularly shaped and variably dense and deep, generally moderately to strongly elongated punctures; median ones particularly large and elongate, groove-like. Dorsal pronotal setae moderately dense, but much denser on lateral sides of pronotum, especially in constriction area where setation effectively conceals shape of lateral pronotal denticles. Several longer erect tactile setae on lateral sides of anterior lobe. Scutellar shield minute, apically rounded, glabrous, and glossy. Elytra moderately glossy, dorsally elongate elliptical, slightly convex in lateral view, widened laterally around midlength, lateral margins broadly rounded, humerus obsolete (apterous species). Elytral punctures stronger and larger than those on dorsal forebody, more or less regularly circular, smaller than dorsal punctures on lateral pronotal constriction. Punctures becoming more flat and somewhat sparser on apical third of elytra. Intervening spaces ~ 3–5 × as wide as diameter of punctures. Elytral setae long and sparse, suberect, yellowish. Male tergite and sternite VII broadly rounded at posterior margin. Sternite IX rod – like, slightly bisinuate (Fig. +4 A +). Aedeagus as in Fig. +4 B – G +, elongate, narrows apically, apex somewhat subspatulate, widened and rounded.
