Scarabaeus (Scarabaeolus) andreaei Zur Strassen 1963 View in CoL

Scarabaeus (Scarabaeolus) xavieri Ferreira 1968 View in CoL new synonym

We have compared photographs of the holotype and paratype specimens of Scarabaeus (Scarabaeolus) andreaei Zur Strassen 1963 View in CoL , housed in the SAMC (type locality: Inhambane, coastal Mozambique), with the holotype of Scarabaeus (Scarabaeolus) xavieri Ferreira 1968 View in CoL , housed in the TMSA (type locality: Inharrime, coastal Mozambique) ( Fig. 1 View FIGURE 1 ), and are of the opinion that they are synonymous. The type of S. (S.) andreaei View in CoL is female thus aedeagi could not be compared. However the fine dense punctation of the prothoracic disc and slightly convex interstriae is similar in both type specimens.
