Remarks. The species is described from the male holotype collected from Kona on Itimbti river in D.R. Congo and not recorded since (Kurina & Hippa 2014). The study of more extensive material disclosed a small variation in male terminalia (Figs 14 A–D), especially in details of the gonostylus and the setigerous lobe dorsally from juxtagonostylar megasetae, which are well exposed in the slide mounts of the newly studied specimens.
