African
genus Dromica DEJEAN
1826
|
 |
The
genus Dromica Dejean 1826, is
widely distributed in the African
continent south of
Saharo-Sahelian region. The species
basically live in savannah, grasslands,
open woodlands and semidesert areas
and so, they are not found in the
central African forests. All are
wingless and fast running with about
150 known species. This difficoult
group needs a modern revision wich is
not simple becouse of many unknown
data regarding old collected specimens,
low number of species collected in
only type locality and other
difficulties.
It is really a great task to deal with. |
