Wings: fully developed, tegmina with subcosta lobe; right tegmen specialised, without sharp edge at the borderline between the two differently structured areas, Fig. 19G .—Femur armament: femora of all legs with an apical spine.—Tibia armament: [3.6.1][7.6.3][10–11.6.5], Figs. 1A,B .—Subgenital plate: anterior apodemes inconspicuous, strong bristles on posterior half of the plate, with rather long styli, Fig. 16D .—Supraanal plate: short, rounded trapezoidal, indicated bilobed, Fig. 16C .—Cercal tricholiths: 1–3 per anulus, Fig. 18G . Female: Wings variosly shortend, tegmina more strongly sclerotised than in the male, but otherwise similarly specialised. Material studied : 1♂ , Ethiopia , near Negele borana, Sidamo , 25.–27.IV.98, Werner leg. (prep. Bo 1179) ; 1 ♂ , Kenya , near Voi , 28.–30.XI.1997 , leg. Werner & Lizler (prep. Bo 1185) ; 1♂ , N.- Rhodesia , Ndola , 1.XI.63., Hausmann (prep.: Bo 1178) ; 1♂ , Tanzania , near Same , 11.XII.94, leg. Werner (prep.: Bo 1183) ; 3♂ , Zambia , near Kabwe ( Broken Hill ), 10.XII.2001 , leg. Werner & Lizler ; 1♂ , Zambia , NW Prov. , near Kabompo , 4.–7.XII.2001 , leg. Werner ; 1♂ , Zambia , NW Prov. , near Mwinilunga , 120 km to Kabompo , leg. Werner & SMRZ ; Zambia , near Monze , 11.XII.2001 , leg. Werner & Lizler (prep.: Bo 1184) . ( ZSM ). Remarks. The specimens studied belong at least to two different species. So far, only E. capensis is known from Africa. An exact determination was not possible without type material. Comparison with some Oriental specimens did not show differences in the characters listed above.
