Material examined — 3 larvae ( IRSNB) from Tachymarptis melba maximus (Ogilvie-Grant)

(= Apus maximus ) ( Apodiformes : Apodidae ), DR CONGO, Kivu Province, unknown locality, 21 Jul. 1956, collected by A. Fain.

Remarks — This species was known only from its type series collected from Tarentola mauritanica (L.) ( Squamata : Phyllodactylidae ) in Morocco, Oued Cherrat, 33°48′55′′N, 7°06′36′′W. Here it is recorded outside the type locality, in DR Congo and on a bird host for the first time.
