- <p><b><i>Capicola diversipes</i> Cockerell, 1932b: 175–176. Syn. nov.</b></p><p>(Figs. 1–3)</p><p>The examination of the holotype of <i>C. diversipes</i> showed that it is undoubtedly conspecific with <i>S. ogilviei</i> (Cockerell, 1932a). The holotype is in fair condition (left forewing missing, color faded) (Figs. 1, 2) and agrees with the description. Interestingly, the type specimens of both taxa were collected at the same place and date by the same collectors: <i>Rhinochaetula ogilviei</i>: “Cape Province: Nieuwoudtville, November20-22(J.O., L.O., Ckll.)” (Cockerell, 1932a). <i>Capicola diversipes</i>: “Cape Province: Nieuwoudtville, November 22 (J.O.)” (Cockerell, 1932b) (all labels of the type specimen in Fig. 3). Both names were published in subsequent volumes of the Annals and Magazine of Natural History giving <i>R. ogilviei</i> precedence over <i>C. diversipes</i>. Donald Baker recognized the correct taxonomy, both generic assignment and synonymy.</p><p>DiscussiON. <i>Capicola diversipes</i> is clearly not a <i>Scrapter</i> species (Colletidae), but instead a melittid bee of the genus <i>Samba</i> as redescribed by Michez <i>et al</i>. (2010) (<i>i.e</i>., pointed glossa, short galea, all labial palpus segments with similar length, head wider than long, wing shape, enlarged hind basitarsus, terga generally without apical hair bands; Figs. 1, 2). It is therefore unclear how the described erroneous transfer of the species to <i>Scrapter</i> happened in Michez <i>et al</i>. (2010). There may have been confusion with a superficially similar-looking and named male <i>Scrapter</i> with modified legs. Fortunately, <i>C. diversipes</i> turned out to be a junior synonym, so that it was not necessary to rename a valid species.</p>
