from Burundi: Anteon nkubayei sp. nov. (Anteoninae); from Kenya: Aphelopus
severancei sp. nov. (Aphelopinae); Conganteon lymanorum sp. nov.
(Conganteoninae); Anteon alteri sp. nov., A. blacki sp. nov., A.
crowleydelmanorum sp. nov., A. mcguirkae sp. nov., Deinodryinus musingilai sp.
nov. (Anteoninae); Bocchus johanssoni sp. nov. (Bocchinae); Dryinus digo sp.
nov., Thaumatodryinus overholti sp. nov., T. tuukkaraski sp. nov. (Dryininae);
from Kenya and Uganda: Anteon semajanna sp. nov. (Anteoninae). The following
species have been found for the first time in Kenya: Embolemidae: Ampulicomorpha

1928), Echthrodelphax migratorius Benoit, 1954, E. tauricus Ponomarenko,
1970. The following species of Dryinidae have been found for the first time in
Burundi: Aphelopus mediocarinatus (Benoit, 1951a), Anteon maritimum (Turner,
1928), Dryinus shimbanus Olmi, 2011. Dryinus turneri nom. nov., is proposed in
place of Dryinus ampuliciformis Turner, 1928 (preoccupied by Dryinus (=
Campylonyx) ampuliciformis (Westwood, 1835)), already known from Kenya. With the
above new records, 76 species of Dryinidae (previously 39) and six species of
Embolemidae (previously four) are now known from Kenya. Regarding the
Sclerogibbidae of Kenya, the 12 species listed by Olmi & Copeland (2011)
are confirmed. In Burundi, six species of Dryinidae (previously two) are
recognized. The three species of Embolemidae and one species of Sclerogibbidae
previously listed from Burundi are confirmed. Additional new faunistic records
are given from Cameroon, Central African Republic, Ethiopia, Gambia, Ivory
Coast, Madagascar, Mali, Mozambique, Republic of South Africa, Senegal,
Tanzania, Uganda, Yemen, Zambia and Zimbabwe.
