Occurrence: Confirmed with many records from
the Democratic Republic of the Congo
but also from the South of
Sudan
and
Zambia
.
Remarks: Two times the subgenus was treated as genus (
BASILEWSKY 1967
,
1969
) but without genus description or taxonomic statement.
Physoclivina
might indeed deserve genus level due to some very specific characters. But at the current point in time I refrain from taxonomic action.
The
holotype
and
19 paratypes
located in MRACT have been investigated as well as specimens from the author’s collection. The
holotype
served for the pictures provided. To complete the series of habitus-pictures for all member of the subgenus, a picture has been added to this contribution as well.
