Collection C. Hemp. Description. Male. Mix of brown and green colours. Abdomen . Incision of 10th abdominal tergite angular and similar as in the morphologically and molecularly closely related P. elgonensis n. sp. The processes on the posterior margin of the 10th tergite are straight ( Fig. 11 I). Differences between both species are seen in the stoutness of the processes: P. limuru n. sp. has longer and more slender processes while in P. elgonensis n. sp. these processes are stouter, broader and shorter. Male cercus with stout outer branch and comparatively short and little curved inner branch ( Fig. 11 J) Female. Colour pattern as in male. Ovipositor typical for genus. Subgenital plate with two lobes at posterior margin which is not found in any other Phlesirtes species at present ( Fig. 5 H). Measurements male (mm) (N=10). Length of body 8.8–10.5 (mean: 9.4), length of pronotum 4.5–4.7 (mean: 4.6), length of anterior femur 2.1–2.2 (mean: 2.1), length of posterior femur 8.3–9.6 (mean: 9.2), visible part of elytra from above 0.4–1.5 (mean: 0.8). Measurements female (mm) (N=10). Length of body 8.7–11.5 (mean: 10.3), length of pronotum 3.6–4.1 (mean: 3.8), length of anterior femur 2.3–2.6 (mean: 2.4), length of posterior femur 9.8–11.0 (mean: 10.3), ovipositor 9.0–10.2 (mean: 9.9). Diagnosis. Morphologically related to P. elgonensis n. sp. (distinguishing characters see at P. elgonensis n. sp. and above). Habitat and distribution. Kenya , lower slopes of Aberdare Range around town Limuru . Montane grasslands 2100–2200 m .
