 I agree with Tanypus. Short anal lobes are typical, that is in the palaearctic. However, I'm not familiar with african genera.

I can no longer send private messages (and maybe not receive?), even though my inbox and outbox are not yet full. I write, click "send" and they disappear and never show up in the outbox.
