Material examined Holotype KENYA • ♂ ; Shima la Tewa , ca 25 km N of Mombasa ; 13 Apr.–4 Jul. 1987 ; R. Ehrmann leg.; MCZENT 00034788 [pictures only]. Differential diagnosis Type species of the genus Africalolampra , it is described with several drawings from five males and one female from the same locality ( Roth 1995 ). Note, howewer, that we were unable to examine the series of specimens and that the MCZ curators reported six male and no female specimens. We here complement the drawings in Roth (1995) with a few pictures obtained from MCZ ( Fig. 10 ). The pronotal and head pattern coloration ( Fig. 10A–B ), as well as the shape of the tergal specialization, allows one to readily differentiate A. ehrmanni from its conspecifics. Habitat “The original specimens were collected in dense undergrowth in a damp Galeria woods” ( Roth 1995 ). Distribution This species is only known from its type locality in Kenya ( Fig. 1 ).
