Oxythyrea scintillans ( Janson, 1907)

A reference to this taxon listed in Fédière et al. (1989) from the Ivory Coast has not been found and is not included in Table 4 . As this species is absent from the catalogs of Schenkling (1921), Krajčík (1998, 1999) and Schoolmeesters (2021), we believe it is in error.As further evidence, Janson did publish two papers in 1907 ( Janson 1907a,b) but this species was not included in either one. Therefore, this record most likely refers to Acrothyrea scintillans (De Lisle, 1947) which is known from the Ivory Coast ( Beinhundner 2017; Moretto & Rojkoff 2021).
