Hapalomantis minima is previously recorded in Kenya, Tanzania, and Zimbabwe.</p><p>Comments. The key by Kaltenbach (1996) distinguishing H. minima from H. orba described the single lengthened posteroventral tibial spine (a characteristic of the genus) to be either the second ( H. orba) or the third ( H. minima) from the proximal end. However, we observed variability in this character within specimens. Considering also that the ranges of these two species overlap, we suspect H. minima and H. orba are synonymous.

NNP.3—Four males (GSMC004684, GSMC004686, GSMC004688, GSMC4691). NNP.4—Four males (GSMC004679–80, GSMC004687, GSMC4690).</p><p>Distribution. Species within the genus Galepsus range across the African continent.</p><p>Comments. The species Galepsus fallax (La Greca, 1955) is previously recorded in Rwanda, but as we were unable to make a species level determination on these specimens, they will be referred to as Galepsus sp.</p><p>Galepsus sp.2 (Figs 2 G, 9B–C)</p><p>Sampling. NNP.3—Two males (GSMC004682–3) and four females (GSMC004380, GSMC004599, GSMC004677–8).</p><p>Galepsus sp.3 (Fig. 9 D)</p><p>Sampling. ANP.1—One male (GSMC004685).</p><p>Galepsus sp.4 (Fig. 10 A)</p><p>Sampling. ANP.1—One male (GSMC004689).</p><p>Galepsus sp. (nymphs)</p><p>Sampling. ANP.1—Three nymphs (GSMC004906–8). ANP.2—15 nymphs (GSMC004380, GSMC004945– 57, GSMC004599).</p><p>Pyrgomantis nana Sjöstedt, 1924 (Figs 3 I, 8C–D)</p><p>Sampling. ANP.1—One female (GSMC004574) and 14 nymphs (GSMC004892-905). ANP.2—Eight males (GSMC00437–9, GSMC004333–4, GSMC004577–9), seven females (GSMC004324, GSMC004322, GSMC004328, GSMC004336, GSMC004338, GSMC004575–6), and 64 nymphs (GSMC004325, GSMC004344, GSMC004416, GSMC004580–1, GSMC004878–98, GSMC4909–45, GSMC005010).</p><p>Distribution. Species within the genus Pyrgomantis range across the African continent. Pyrgomantis nana is previously recorded in Burundi, the Democratic Republic of Congo, and Rwanda.</p><p>Comments. While identification of this species is certain based on genital dissections, revisionary work for the genus is needed as most species do not have their male genitalia described.</p><p>Oxyelaea elegans Giglio-Tos, 1917 (Figs 2 A–B, 7B–D)</p><p>Sampling. ANP.3—Three males (GSMC004692–3, GSMC005129), two females (GSMC004694, GSMC005121), and 16 nymphs (GSMC004834–49)</p><p>Distribution. Species within the genus Oxyelaea have been recorded in Congo, Kenya, Tanzania, Somalia, and Uganda, but O. elegans is the first species within the genus recorded in Rwanda. Oxyelaea elegans is previously recorded in Congo and Tanzania.</p><p>Observations. Males from NNP (Fig. 7 B) were found to have slight differences in coloration from those in ANP (Fig. 7 C).</p><p>Tarachodes sanctus (Saussure, 1871) (Figs 2 C–E, 8A–B)</p><p>Sampling. ANP.1—Two males (GSMC004596, GSMC004598) and two nymphs (GSMC004600-1). ANP.2— Two males (GSMC004690–1) and four nymphs (GSMC004585, GSMC004594, GSMC004602, GSMC004958). ANP.3—Three males (GSMC004692–4) and one female (GSMC004877).</p><p>Distribution. Species within the genus Tarachodes range across the African continent, but T. sanctus is the first species within the genus recorded in Rwanda. Tarachodes sanctus is previously recorded in Congo, Mozambique, Natal, Somalia, Tanzania, Transvaal, Zululand, and Zimbabwe.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03ABBC26FF92FFA0FF53FEC60CFFF859	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
