Abstract

Endustomus sanjensis sp. nov. is described from Tanzania. First records of Endustomus nimbaensis Ardoin, 1963 and Cossyphus (Cossyphus) moniliferus moniliferus Chevrolat, 1829 are given for Sierra Leone. New faunistic data are provided for E. parallelogrammus parallelogrammus Fairmaire, 1888, E. senegalensis Laporte de Castelnau, 1833, and E. magnicollis Fairmaire, 1887.
