Locus typicus: Burundi , Munanira. Holotype : ♂. Burundi , Munanira [ 03°02'S 029°25'E ], 2200 m , 01–14.I.1983 , A. Autrique (MNHN). Ethiopian material. Lake Tana, Bahar Dar [ 11°36'N 037°23'E ] ( 1 ♂ , 1 ♀), leg. Schäuffele ( SMNS ); Welega pr., 1260 m , 70 km S Nekemte [ca 08°35'N 036°20'E ], 05.IV.2007 (1 ♀), leg. J. Halada ( OLML ); Sebeta, 08°54’N 038°35’E , 2165 m , 04.X.2010 , on Ajuga integrifolia flower, P3420 (1 ♀), leg. J.-L. Boevé & A. Pauly ( RBINS ). Distribution. Burundi , Democratic Republic of the Congo , Ethiopia , Rwanda , Uganda . Host plant. Brassicaceae ( Opitz et al. 2012 ) . Remarks. The species was abundantly collected from 1981 to 1983 with yellow pan traps placed in potato fields in Burundi ( Chevin 1985 ). Chevin (1985) misidentified the material as A. himantopus truncata . Athalia truncata differs from A. flavobasalis by the entirely yellow metepimeron, and in the shape of the apically subtruncate digitus ( Koch 2007: fig. 9b ). The phenology of this species based on the material from Burundi is illustrated by Koch (2007) , and it is concluded that the species is univoltine.
