Material examined

UGANDA • 1 ♂, 3 ♀♀; Entebbe ; Apr. 1999; FSCA • 1 ♀; same locality as for preceding; 9 May 1993; L. Fishpod leg.; NHM .

Distribution

Known from Ivory Coast, Congo and Kenya, this is the first record from Uganda.

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.
