Africaterphis, a new genus for the African species of Terphis; and a redescription of the Brazilian genus Terphis Erichson (Diptera: Acroceridae) Author Schlinger, Evert I. Department of Entomology, University of California, Riverside text ANNALS OF THE NATAL MUSEUM 1968 1968-12-31 20 59 62 journal article 267607 10.5281/zenodo.8345268 fd6e103a-065c-4576-ac00-ca59ee699a62 8345268 Africaterphis gertschi (Schlinger) , new comb Terphis gertschi Schlinger, 1960a:497 , figs. 24, 25. This species was described from two males from Ceres, Cape Province , South Africa . A poorly preserved male specimen has been examined recently which is presumed to be this species. It had the following labels: (1) "British Caffraria, Castilucan, 1862 "; (2) " Terphis aspera Wdlck *" and "MSS of Benno Wandolleck, in Berlin, 1899." This specimen was loaned to me from the Hope Museum, Oxford, England . The name " Terphis aspera ," as given on the above label, is here considered a nomen nudem, inasmuch as the large revision of this family published by Wandolleck in 1914 did not contain this species name, any actual description of the genus or any species of Terphis .
