Abstract
In this paper, Psylliodes afromontana sp. nov. and P. shira sp. nov., both from Eastern Africa [Kenya (Kikuyu Escarpment) and Tanzania (Kilimanjaro) respectively], are described. The two new species are attributed to the montana species-group, currently including four other wingless species occurring in the montane forests of Kenya and Tanzania: Psylliodes montana Weise, P. kikuyana Biondi, P. masai Biondi, P. manobioides Nadein. Micrographs of diagnostic characters, comprehending male and female genitalia are supplied. Ecological data for each species, including habitat preference, and phenology are also reported.
期刊介绍：
Fragmenta entomologica is devoted to publishing high quality papers dealing with Arthropod biodiversity. It publishes research articles, short scientific notes, reviews articles, comments and editorials. The core scope of the journal includes Taxonomy, Systematics, Molecular phylogeny, Morphology, Paleontology, Biodiversity, Biogeography, Evolutionary biology, Conservation biology, Ecology, Ethology and Applied Entomology, and embraces all terrestrial, freshwater and brackish water Arthropods. Merely faunistic papers might be considered for publication only in the following cases: papers including relevant and significant new data emphasizing the conservation priority of rare, protected or endangered arthropods and their habitats; papers concerning with important newly introduced pest species; papers concerning with very poorly known geographic areas from scarcely investigated countries.
