Spermophora Hentz 1841

Description

Spermophora Hentz, 1841

Spermophora is in fact an Asian genus (Huber 2005) and African representatives have tentatively been assigned to it for lack of a better hypothesis (Huber 2003a). Recent molecular data (Dimitrov et al. 2012) suggest that at least the six Kenyan species (Fig. 27) are closely related to the East African genus Buitinga. Twelve East African species are currently assigned to Spermophora.

75. Spermophora berlandi Fage, 1936. Kenya (Fage & Simon 1936).

76. Spermophora bukusu sp. nov. (see below). Kenya.

77. Spermophora kirinyaga sp. nov. (see below). Kenya.

78. Spermophora kivu Huber, 2003. Congo DR (Huber 2003a).

79. Spermophora kyambura sp. nov. (see below). Uganda.

80. Spermophora maathaiae sp. nov. (see below). Kenya.

81. Spermophora masisiwe Huber, 2003. Tanzania (Huber 2003a).

82. Spermophora mau sp. nov. (see below). Kenya.
