Abstract
Ten species of Philosciidae are listed from eastern Africa, including five new species, viz. Aphiloscia parva, Afrophiloscia bispinosa, A. similis, A. tanzaniana, A meruina. The genus Komatia Barnard, 1932 is proved to be synonymous with Aphiloscia Budde-Lund, 1908. The species Komatia marginata Barnard, 1932, Aphiloscia congolensis damasi Arcangeli, 1950 and Aphiloscia digitata Taiti & Ferrara, 1980 are considered to be new synonyms of Aphiloscia maculicornis (Budde-Lund, 1898). The distribution of all species is recorded.File in questo prodotto:
