Table 6.1. Distribution of the endemic montane oyesmids of Ta nzania. Th e low numbers ited or the
Nguu and Rubeho mountains do ubtless rlea inadequate sampling to ate. Occurrences or the Us ambaras,
Ulugurus, and Uz ungwas are more substantive. Fomer co ntinuiy between the Uluguu and Uz unwa ranges
is strongy implied by records or Gonepacra and hododesmus, at the sp ecies level in the latter case.
Ai nity of Rungwe Mountain with the Uz ungwas will surely be amplified when its fauna has been more
thoroughly collected
