Materials Examined
Type material: Holotype male,TANZANIA, Tanga region, West Usambara Mountains, Mazumbai, 23.xi. 1990, ZMB's Tanzania Expedition, (ZMUN). Paratypes: as for holotype, except 3 males, 7.xi. 1990; 1 male, 24–26.xi. 1990; 2 males, 2.xii. 1990.
Etymology
Etymology: From Latin di, two, and seta, bristle; referring to two distinctive setae on tergite 9. Diagnostic characters: The male can be separated from all other members of the genus by tergite 9 lacking lobes, and having two very strong submedian setae.
