Description
Quamtana Huber, 2003
Quamtana is most diverse in southern Africa, but a few species occur as far north as Cameroon, Congo DR, Uganda (Huber 2003c), Rwanda [“Burundi” in Huber & Warui 2012 is a lapsus; Cyamudongo is in Rwanda, 2°33.5’S, 28°59.5’E] and Kenya (Huber & Warui 2012). The new records below include the first for West Africa, and indicate that Q. kitahurira Huber, 2003 (previously known from Uganda and Rwanda only) is apparently a widespread species.
