Remarks
This species was originally described from a single female specimen from Zimbabwe. Kiriakoff (1963: 214) designated a (redundant) neallotype (NHMUK) and transferred bifasciata to the genus Afrocerura as a subspecies of A. leonensis . Schintlmeister & Witt (2015) considered bifasciata to be a good species, a view which is upheld here. As previously stated under leonensis , the morphological differences between the genitalia of leonensis and bifasciata are found to be distinctive enough to consider them as being separate species. The male genitalia and habitus of true bifasciata are illustrated here for the first time (Figs 37‒38, 21).
Distribution
The specimens collected in Zambia represent a new country record. The species is now known from Zimbabwe, Tanzania (De Prins & De Prins, 2019) and Zambia.
