Abstract
SEM studies of the area rugosa of two undescribed species of Brumptaem ilius Dollfus, 1952 collected from the gut of diplopods from Nigeria a nd South Africa are compared and contrasted and the value of the area rugosa as a taxonomic character in the genus discussed. The dispositio n and form of the copulatory papillae and the form of the spicules are also commented upon. A table of the known distribution of the genus i n Africa is provided.
