Xiphoceriana atrox (Gerstaecker, 1869) (Figs. 42, 43, 45)

Material examined: 6 specimens. Tanzania, Kilimanjaro (1♀) ; Tanzania, Mbuyuni 9.IV.1897 (1♂, 1♀) ; Tanzania, Tanganika (1♂) ; Kenya, Mombasa (1♀) ( MZUR) ; Tanzania (1♀) ( MNHN) .

Remarks. The female from Mbuyuni was compared with the holotype of X. atrox by B. Uvarov, who left a label on the specimen where he noted that only antennal joints are slightly more elongated than on the type (Fig. 42); Figs. 43 and 45 show head and antenna and the habitus of the male.
