Description. See Van Stalle (1987: 99, as Oliarus incompletus). This species was described from a single male from Tanzania. The single specimen we have from Namibia differs from the holotype by the shape of the long, ventral spine of the aedeagus: it is forked distally (see figs 60, 61), whereas the spine of the holotype is not forked. Other main characters of male genitalia as well as external characters fit very well to the holotype of E. incompletus. Our placement of this Namibian specimen to E. incompletus is tentative, further studies are essential to study the intraspecific variability of this species and to clarify the identity of the Namibian specimen.
Distribution. Tanzania, northern Namibia (new record)
