(Fig. 5A)

Atrachyphloeus convergens Voss, 1962: 187 (original description).

Atrachyphloeus convergens: Alonso-Zarazaga & Lyal 1999: 183 (catalogue).

Type locality. riv. Lufwa [Democratic Republic of Congo].

Material examined. Holotype, 1 spec. (RMCA): ‘HOLOTYPUS [red, p] / TYPE [red, p] / Congo belge: P. N. U. R. Lufwa (1.700 m) 16-I-1948 Mis. G. F. de Witte 1246a [p] / E. Voss det., 1958 Atrachyphloeus convergens n. sp. [hw] / Phaylomerinthus convergens (Voss), R. Borovec et J. Skuhrovec det. 2017 [p]’ (Fig. 5A). Non-type specimens: 3 spec.: ‘Congo belge: Mukana-Lusinga (1.810 m) 15-19-I-1948 Mis. G. F. de Witte 1227a’ and ‘Congo belge: P. N. U. Kenia affl. Dr. Lusinga 1.585 m 19-XII-1947 Mis. G. F. de Witte 1200a’ and handwritten label ‘E. Voss det., 1961 Atrachyphloeus convergens m. subsp. n. (?)’.

Remarks. The species was described for two specimens, from Lufwa and Kalumengongo. All four specimens from RMCA examined are clearly congeneric with Phaylomerinthus cinereus . Because Atrachyphloeus convergens Voss, 1962 is type species of Atrachyphloeus Voss, 1962, the transfer of this species to Phaylomerinthus means that Atrachyphloeus becomes a new junior subjective synonym of Phaylomerinthus Schoenherr, 1842, syn. n.
