Remarks
. The habitus and size of this specimen (
Fig. 14
) is quite similar to that of
P. crassipes
(Ramme, 1929)
(described from
Kenya
and known also from
Somalia
and
Tanzania
:
Rowell & Hemp 2018
). However, the single male collected in
Zambia
is more brachypterous than
O. crassipes
, and cerci are pointed and bifurcate, while in
P. crassipes
they are with subacute obliquely truncate apex (
Dirsh 1965
;
Rowell & Hemp 2018
). In absence of other specimens, it is preferable not to describe it as new.
