Morphological notes.
Larva.
Similar to
P. pannota
sp. n.
, differs as the following. Proximal subsegment of first segment of maxillary palp has cuticle entirely membranous, so that on shed exuviae it does not keeps its form, being inverted and entirely dipped into maxilla (
Fig. 15
). Distal subsegment of first segment is not widened apically, narrower than proximal part of primary second segment (
Fig. 15
). Femora, tibia and tarsi shorter and thicker, than in
P. pannota
sp. n.
; hind femur without orange-brown markings on cuticle of posterior side (but all legs with orange-brown marking on tibial base). Posterior margin of tergum I with small denticles. Abdominal segments VII–X, tergalii and caudalii missing.
Male imago
(presumably associated with larva). Turbinate eyes gray or ocher. Thorax ocher with light brown, lighter than in
P. pannota
. Abdominal tergum IV as light as previous ones; brownish coloration beginning from tergum V. Genitals as in
P. pannota
sp. n.
(as in
Figs 2
,
55
).
Dimension.
Fore wing length of male imago 5.5. mm.
Discussion.
Kimmins (1960)
reported this species from
Jinja
and Entebbe in
Uganda
under the name “
Pseudocloeon kamerunense
”, but noted that the “
Uganda
examples are rather larger” and that Ulmer “shows a much more definite point on the inner angle of the forceps-base ...”. Imagoes collected by me in
Jinja
and Bujagali Falls agree with these notes and possibly belong to the same species. Association of these imagoes with exuviae of a single larva from the same locality is poorly presumable.
