Eurycorypha sp.

Remarks.— Vosseler (1909) recorded an Eurycorypha species in the East Usambara Mountains, investigating minutely the life history. Since the ant-like nymphal stages were described as Myrmecophana fallax, Vosseler suggested that the species in the East Usambaras belonged to this genus, described by Brunner von Wattenwyl from the Sudan. He synonymized M. fallax with Eurycorypha and remarked that E. prasinata (Stal), originally described from Madagascar, probably has the widest distribution occurring in Madagascar, South Africa, the Comoros, coastal Kenya and Tanzania. He suggested that the investigated species from the East Usambara Mountains, being somewhat intermediary between E. prasinata and E. varia Bunner, could therefore belong to E. prasinata . Further studies have to be undertaken to show to which species these East Usambaran specimens investigated by Vosseler belong since E. prasinata is restricted to Madagascar.
