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.
