Abstract

Four species of Ephemerythus Gillies 1960 are described here. Larvae, subimagoes, imagoes of both sexes and eggs of Ephemerythus niger Gillies 1960 (= E. niger ugandanus Kluge 2010 syn. n.) and Ephemerythus pictus Gillies 1960 (= E. kiboensis Gillies 1960 syn. n.) are redescribed based on reared material from their type localities (Amani in Usambara Mountains and Marangu in Kilimandjaro respectively) and from other places in Tanzania. Larvae, subimagoes, imagoes of both sexes and eggs of a new species Ephemerythus nigricolor sp. n. are described based on reared material from Zambia. The species formerly reported as «Ephemerythus sp. C» (Kluge 2010a) is described here as Ephemerythus gilliesi sp. n., based on one larva with eggs, collected by M.T. Gillies in Cameroon.
