Fig. 19. Type localities of species of Shimonia gen. nov. (indicated by black spots and bold fonts). The female of S. splendida can be easily distinguished from its congeners by the triangular shape of the latero- ventral sclerotized plates on segment 8 which in S. tim- berlakei sp. n. and in sp. n. are roundish or oval. Papillae anales are densely covered with long and short setae (long setae are absent in the other two species). Distribution. Shimonia splendida is currently known from the northeastern region of DRC (Isiro) and western Uganda (Rwenzori Mountains). Isiro (formerly called Paulis; 02°46'N, 27°36'E; altitude 750 m; average annu- al rainfall 1530-1600 mm) is a town about 50 km north of the large Ituri Forest in northeastern DRC (Haut-Uele Province). Bwamba Pass (average annual rainfall 2200-3000 mm; collecting site at the altitude of 1981 m) is located in the Rwenzori Mountains. It is the old trail between Fort Portal and Bundibugyo (T. Davenport, pers. comm.). 3. Shimonia fischeri sp. n. Figs 4, 18 Material examined. Holotype $, Belgian Congo [Demo- cratic Republic of the Congo], Sankuru, Katako-Kombe, 23 June 1952, Dr. M.
