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).

(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).

Fortunately, <i>C. diversipes</i> turned out to be a junior synonym, so that it was not necessary to rename a valid species.</p> |
