Abstract
The Afrotropical Stichopogoninae is discussed. Nanoculcita kenya gen. et sp. n. is described from 10 localities in Kenya. A key for the identification of Afrotropical stichopogonine genera is provided. The distribution of Clinopogon nicobarensis (Schiner, 1868) is reviewed, showing its wide distribution on beaches throughout the region.Keywords
