New records: TANZANIA, Mbeya reg .: Rukwa L., 8.36 ° S 32.84 ° E, 800 m asl, 13 December 2015, N. Vikhrev, 5♂, 6♀ GoogleMaps ; Nyasa L., Matema, 9.50 ° S 34.01 ° E, 15 December 2015, N. Vikhrev, 1♂ ( ZMUM) GoogleMaps .

Distribution. Afrotropical: D. R. Congo, Kasai and North Kivu prov.; Ethiopia, Oromia reg.; Kenya, Nakuru Co.; Tanzania, Mbeya reg.

Synonymy. Described from 4♂ and 5♀ from D. R. Congo, Kasai and North Kivu provinces. According to the detailed description by Paterson (1956): palpi mainly dark; 2+4 dc, two post anterior pairs small; meron setulose above hind coxa; legs dark except for the base of tibiae; t1 with p; t2 with 1 pd and 1 av; f3 with 1 av preapical; t3 slightly curved dorso-ventrally, with av, ad and pd; tar3-1 broadened (2x width t3, much broader than in L. cilitarsis ), flattened and curved, with long apically curved a and v setulae all along and p setulae at base; cercal plate as in Figs 25 – 26. These characters and cercal shape entirely fit those of L. ethiopica , so Lispe wittei Paterson, 1956 = Lispe ethiopica Vikhrev, 2012 , syn. nov.
