03E7879DFFC7B703FF3729354A08BC68.taxon	discussion	Note. Dr. Paul Ernst Sutton Whalley (1930 – 2019) studied zoology and entomology at Bangor University (Wales, The United Kingdom) and worked in Uganda as an entomologist before returning to the United Kingdom and securing a post with the Natural History Museum in London. Currently his diaries represented by 12 books ranging from 1944 to 2000 are deposited in the Bangor University Archives and Special Collections. In particular, the book 7, with the address on the inside cover “ Agricultural Research Station, Kawanda, Uganda ”, consists of 137 pages covering three years period from August 1956 to April 1958 Dr. Whalley spent in Uganda (Paul Whalley Nature Diaries). According to the personal communication of Mr. Gwyn Williams (Bangor, The United Kingdom), there is no any reference to planthoppers in this book. Thus, perhaps the specimens listed above were collected in Kawanda around the Agricultural Research Station where Dr. Whalley worked. Comparison. The species differs clearly from other species of the genus by small size and short chisel-shaped metopial proboscis. By strongly convex hind margin of sternite VII it is similar to A. rhinarius Jacobi, however, well differing in other external characters.	en	Gnezdilov, Vladimir M., Neimorovets, Vladimir V.

Mesonotum 2.5 times as long as pronotum, without carinae. Fore wings short, almost reaching hind margin of third abdominal tergite; venation indistinct except weak radius. Legs not flattened neither foliate. Hind tibia with a single lateral spine near to its middle and with five apical spines. First metatarsomere slightly longer than second one, with dense short and thick setae ventrally. Second metatarsomere with dense hair-shaped setae ventrally. First and second metatarsomeres each with only two latero-apical spines. Female. Coloration (Figs 30 – 32). Scapi, pedicels, coxae, and hind legs dark brown. Coryphe pale, with dense light brown dots. Metope mostly pale, with dense light brown dots except dark brown to black laterally above clypeus. Postclypeus dark brown to black, with pale median carina. Episternae and epimerae dark brown to black. Pro- and mesonotum pale, with dense light brown dots except dark brown to black laterally. Fore wings brown except pale claval margins. Fore legs and middle and hind tarsi yellowish light brown. Claws dark brown. Apices of leg spines black. Abdominal tergites dark brown to black, with light yellow stripes and spots — wide median stripe on tergites III – V and narrow stripes or spots on others. Abdominal sternites and ovipositor dark brown to black. Female terminalia (Figs 28, 29). Hind margin of sternite VII generally convex, with slight median concavity (Fig. 28).

03E7879DFFCBB708FF372D824ADCB954.taxon	discussion	Note. Photos of male habitus and the drawings of male genitalia structure were erroneously published under the name Savanopulex endroedyi Dlabola (Gnezdilov & Bourgoin 2009, figs 23 – 25, 70 – 74). No significant differences in male genitalia structure of the specimens from Sudan and Nigeria were found. Linnavuori (1973) mentioned that the species was collected on light which is rare for brachypterous insects, however, within the Caliscelidae it is also known for Adenissus fuscus Gnezdilov, 2017, collected on light in the United Arab Emirates (Gnezdilov 2017 b). The females recorded above from Egypt and Erithrea are assigned to Albrehmus chloe according to habitus, particularly the shape and the carination of the head.	en	Gnezdilov, Vladimir M., Neimorovets, Vladimir V.
