TYPE MATERIAL OF PISENOR TULLGRENI. — DR Congo • 1 ♀; P. N. Upemba, Lusinga; [08°56’S, 27°12’E]; 30.X-12.XII.1947, G. F. De Witte leg.; 1810 m; BE_RMCA_ARA. Ara.139866 and BE_RMCA_ARA.

REMARK Benoit (1966) stated that the type of C. maculata (Roewer, 1953) was a juvenile specimen of the species described in the adult stage as C. tullgreni (Roewer, 1953) (Fig. 8). We show however that the holotype specimen of C. maculata (Roewer, 1953) is not a juvenile but an adult female (Fig. 7).
