Figs 4–6, 15

Mannheimsia stricta Beyer, 1965: 29 .

Male terminalia: Epandrium relatively unmodified, without large setae (Figs 4–5). Long subepandrial process (sensu Brown 1992 a) present, apparently as left surstylus but hypothesised to be shifted left + right surstylus; process with long, narrow medial process (Fig. 5). Left lobe of hypandrium with greatly elongate, narrow process; right lobe with greatly elongate, medially concave process (Fig. 6) and more dorsal, rounded secondary process with elongate, fingerlike extension.

Holotype: CONGO: ơ, Kivu, Rutshuru , 1285 m, 7.vi.1935, G. F. de Witte, 1420 (examined; MRAC).

Other material examined (all paratypes): CONGO: Bambesa , 1^ i.1935, J. Leroy ( MRAC), same data as holotype, 1ơ 29–30.xii.1933, 1^ 22.v–4.vi.1934, 1ơ 8.vi.1934 ( MRAC) .

Remarks: The holotype and most of the paratypes are in extremely poor condition; one male specimen collected 8.vi.1935 is completely intact and in good condition.
