Homadaula submontana Mey, 2005

Material: 1 ♂, Tanzania, Sansibar, ex. coll. Staudinger, genitalia in glycerol ( MfN)

Remarks: The two female specimens are tentatively assigned to H. watamomaritima . The female genitalia are similar to H. ravula and H. calamitosa , but differ in some details (see Fig. 2 ). They are also quite different from Homadaula spec. A , which was also collected in the Coast Province of Kenya.
