Quamtana Huber, 2003

Quamtana is most diverse in southern Africa, but a few species occur as far north as Cameroon, Congo DR, Uganda ( Huber 2003b), and Kenya (herein). Four species are currently known from East Africa ( Fig. 25 ). The new species Q. nyahururu represents the first record of the genus for Kenya and Tanzania.
