16. Buitinga nigrescens ( Berland, 1920) View in CoL . Kenya ( Berland 1920).

Note

The Tanzanian specimens described as B. nigrescens in Huber (2003a) are very probably B. globosa (see above). Females of the two species appear indistinguishable, but newly collected males (and females) from Ol Donyo Sabuk National Park and Hell’s Gate National Park (in ZFMK, Ar 8673-74, Ken 114) indicate that B. nigrescens might in fact be a valid species (with distinctively hooked bulbal apophysis). However, since no topotypical males are known of B. nigrescens (Mt. Kenya, Naro Moru Track), the identity of these newly collected specimens remains dubious.
