mareesi Carl, 1909b: 300-302 , pl. 6, fig. 2 [ Cordyloporus ].

Vom Kagera durch die Südecke von Karagwe bis Mabira, im Busch auf dem Boden des Graslandes häufig. Mabira- Njarowungo in Ussuwi, im Wäldchen an trockenem Flusslauf. Unspecified number of ♂ and ♀.

The MHNG collection contains four specimens in alcohol. The specimens have pins running the length of the body, and are placed in separate vials (MHNG- ARTO-14274, MHNG-ARTO-14275, MHNG-ARTO -14276 and MHNG-ARTO-14277). One of the vials (MHNG-ARTO-14274) also contains a smaller vial with the gonopods of the specimen. The data label has “Mabira-Niarowungo, XI.09, Wäldchen am Flussufern” written on it and the identification labels have “mareesi n. sp. ” and “ types Ost-Ussuwi Dr J. Carl” written on them respectively, indicating that the specimens are part of the type series. The tube with the dissected specimen is labelled as the lectotype, but this designation does not appear to have been published, and the specimens are syntypes. There are two syntypes in the ZMUH ( Weidner, 1960), one in the MCZL, one in the ZMHB ( Moritz & Fischer, 1978a) and one (referred to as “Co-Typus” in the NMB catalogue) in the NMB (inventory number NMB- DIPL-00172a).
