Abstract: Enoplomischus ghesquierei Giltay, 1931 Enoplomischus ghesquierei Giltay, 1931: 168, figs 1–2. Enoplomischus chattoni Berland & Millot, 1941: 343, fig. 47.

Material examined UGANDA • 1 ♂, 3 ♀♀; Entebbe; Apr. 1999; FSCA • 1 ♀; same locality as for preceding; 9 May 1993; L. Fishpod leg.; NHM. Distribution Known from Ivory Coast, Congo and Kenya, this is the first record from Uganda. Synonymization Enoplomischus ghesquierei (♂) and E. spinosus (♀) were described from a single sex only. In the material form Uganda the two sexes were found together in one sample. Furthermore, they share a similar body form and have a very characteristic outgrowth on their pedicel. Based on this evidence, we consider the two specific names as synonyms.
