umbrosa, although it is scarcely reasonable to suppose that the holotypes of all mentioned species belong to different species. Nevertheless, one paratype of P. nitens from Kundelungu should be rather regarded as P. oblita than P. umbrosa. Besides, one of studied paratype of P. fragilis looks almost like P. pauli. However the most specimens here united under the name P. umbrosa seem to be conspecific or belong to the species very similar to P. mixta differing from it only in somewhat larger body with denser punctation, more contrasting sculpture, denser and more conspicuous pubescence. Pria weisei GROUVELLE, 1908 Pria weisei GROUVELLE, 1908 Pria aerata COOPER, 1982, syn. n. Specimens examined -Tanzania: 1 paralectotype of P. weisei (MNHN) - "Af . or. all., Kwai, Weise"; 1 (HNHM) - " Mt. Mem, W slope Olkokola, 8700 feet, J. Szunyoghy"; 5 (ZISP) - "Arusha Region, Ngorongoro, Crater Cons Area, Ngorongoro Wild, Life Lodge, 18—VIII— 1974, D.H. Habeck, flowers"; Kenya: holotype of P. aerata (NHL) - "Nairobi Museum"; 1 paratype of P. <7<?rata (NHL) - "Nairobi, 9.XI.20, A.F.J.C.", "Nairobi Museum"; 6 (HNHM, ZISP) - "Mt. Elgon Nat. P., near Chepnyalil Cave, dry evergreen montane forest, 2500 m", "singled and swept from the vegetation, 24-26.1.1992, N 501, O. Merkl & G. Várkonyi"; 2 (HNHM, ZISP) - "Mt. Elgon Nat. P., near Kitum Cave, dry evergreen montane forest", "singled and swept from the vegetation, 26.1.1992, N 502, O. Merkl & G. Várkonyi "; 4 (NRS, ZISP) - "Mt. Elgon, Ö. slid. Kaptega Estate, 2100 m,18/2-48, A. Holm". Notes - Testing the type specimens shows that the characters used for distinguishing P. aerata (COOPER, 1982) correspond to those in scope of variability observed among other specimens of P. weisei. Genus Meligethes STEPHENS, 1830 Subgenus Chromogethes KIREJTSHUK, 1989 Key to species of the subgenus Chromogethes KIREJTSHUK, 1989 1 Dorsal surface of head concave; protibia rather narrow and with a very long subapical tooth (process) 2 - Dorsal surface of head slightly convex or subflattened; protibia of usual width or rarely rather narrow and with crenellation consisting of gradually increased small teeth 3
