Synonymization

Enoplomischus ghesquierei (♂) and E. spinosus (♀) were described from a single sex only. In the material form Uganda the two sexes were found together in one sample. Furthermore, they share a similar body form and have a very characteristic outgrowth on their pedicel. Based on this evidence, we consider the two specific names as synonyms.
