During preparation of the original description, the holotype of C. naumanni from Rwanda (deposited in the private collection of Lars Kühne, Potsdam-Badelsberg, Germany ) remained not dissected ( Kühne 2005 ). Nevertheless, Mr Kühne kindly dissected it at my request and confirmed that it also has only two bunches of cornuti in its vesica. Diagnosis . Forewing length is 10–11 mm in males. The species belongs to the subgenus Strigivulpecula Karisch, 2013 ( Type species: Cyana rufeola Karisch & Dall’Asta, 2010) widespread in Afrotropics including Madagascar and the Comoro Islands and comprising seven valid species ( Karisch 2013 ). Despite the species’ unusual wing coloration and pattern ( Figs. 3–5 ), the male genitalia of C. naumanni ( Figs. 11, 12 ) is very similar to that of C. ( Strigivulpecula ) nemasisha ( Roesler, 1990 ) ( Figs. 6 , 13 ), but differ by its shorter cornuti of the distal diverticulum, stronger granulation of both diverticula, and the absence of a bunch of cornuti in the subbasal diverticulum. Distribution . The species is known from Rwanda , Uganda and western Kenya ( Kühne 2005 ).
