- Abstract
The genus Eviulisoma, the largest among Afrotropical Paradoxosomatidae, currently encompasses 36 species or subspecies, including six new from Kenya: E. ngaia sp. n., E. ngaiaorum sp. n., E. taitaorum sp. n., E. taita sp. n., E. kirimeri sp. n. and E. kakamega sp. n. In addition, E. alluaudi Brolemann, 1920 and E. silvestre (Carl, 1909) are recorded for the first time beyond their type localities in Kenya and Tanzania, respectively, based on new material from Kenya. A key is given to all ten species of the genus presently reported from Kenya.
