    Abstract

    Chaleponcus altirungwensis sp. nov. is described from Mount Rungwe, Tanzania. The new species belongs to the
    Chaleponcus dabagaensis group which is otherwise restricted to the Udzungwa Mountains and joins a growing set of
    taxa indicating close biogeographical connections between Mount Rungwe and the Eastern Arc Mountains in a strict
    sense.
