Diagnosis — Measurements of paratype : prodorsum: length 215, height 94, width 177, setae: ss 66, in 106, le and ro 86, ex 18; notogaster: length 419, height 298, width 308, setae: c 1 45, c 1 /c 1 -d 1 =0.45, c 2 83, cp 81, ps 1 53; genitoaggenital plate 152×76, ag 2 35, ag 1 20; anoadanal plate 159×43. Sizes of paratype are higher than the dimensions given by Mahunka (1983a) . Species of medium size; colour light brown. Prodorsum with single lateral carinae; sensilli gradually thickening, pointed distally, without well separated head, covered with small spines; interlamellar, lamellar and rostral setae covered with small spines; rostral and lamellar setae nearly equal in length situated in the same level; exobothridial setae minute; in > ro = le > ss > ex . Notogaster with relatively short setae, setae c 2 and cp longer than other setae; setae of row c remote from anterior margin, setae c 1 more, setae c 3 less remote. Ventral region ; setae h of mentum considerably longer than distance between them; 7 or 8 pairs of genital setae, the last posterior pair the longest; 2 pairs of aggenital setae present, setae ag 2 longer than ag 1 . Chaetome of legs (without tarsi): I:1-3-5(2)-5(1), II :1- 4-3(1)-5(1), III : 2-2-2(1)-2(1), IV : 2-1-1(1)-2(1); all tarsi monodactylous . Localities in Tanzania : Uluguru Mts: Mahunka 1983a , Niedbała 1998 ; Nguru Mts. Distribution — Afrotropical species known only from Tanzania , probably endemic.
