Buitinga Huber, 2003

Buitinga is a diverse genus endemic to East Africa ( Fig. 18 ). Only B. mulanje Huber, 2003 (from Southern Malawi, see Huber 2003a) occurs outside the area considered here. The genus comprises mostly small, long-legged species that are largely restricted to well-preserved forests. The genus now includes 22 described species, but dozens of additional species are likely to occur ( Huber 2003a).
