Conocephalus (Anisoptera) brevicercus (Karsch, 1893) Distribution. Mt Kilimanjaro (Sjöstedt 1909); West-Africa (Eades & Otte 2012). Recorded from Mt Kilimanjaro by Sjöstedt (1909). Habitat. Plantation belt SW-Kilimanjaro (Sjöstedt 1909). Altitudinal range at Mt Kilimanjaro: 1300–1900 m (labels specimens Sjöstedt, collection Stockholm). Records: 0 Remarks. The entomological collection in Stockholm stores two male specimens of this species, collected from Mt Kilimanjaro by Sjöstedt (labelled Kibonoto, 1300–1900 m, 1905–6). In the field C. (A.) brevicercus closely resembles C. (A.) maculatus in habitus and coloration. Only close examination of the male cerci helps to differentiate these two species. Although many C. (A.) maculatus were collected and checked C. (A.) brevicercus was never encountered during the study.
