Material studied. ♂ , Kenya , Kilifi , Jilore , 29.X.1977 , Mahnert & Perret leg. ( MHNG ) . Remarks. This species was known to occur in the Tana River County , southern Kenya ; the new locality is situ- ated not far from the previous one, but much closer to the Indian Ocean coast.

Specimens from the southernmost region of India differ indistinctly in slightly slenderer aedeagus in lateral view ( Figs 19−22 ). Externally, specimens from Sri Lanka (revised by Jałoszyński (2005)) and those from India show a considerable variation in proportions of body parts and relative length of antennae, but this variability can be found among specimens coming from the same collecting event, i.e., the same spot and time.
