Pseudolathra caffra (BOHEMAN 1848) View in CoL

M a t e r i a l e x a m i n e d: Zimbabwe: 13, Rukomechi, Game Reserve Marangora, 550 m, 6.- 9.II.1987, leg. Wittmer (NHMB). Tanzania: 13, campsite near National Park Mikumi, 6°57'S, 37°16'E, 21.VII.2004, leg. Sprecher (cAss).

C o m m e n t: Until recently confounded with P. pulchella , this species appears to be widespread in the Afrotropical region. It was originally described from South Africa and subsequently reported from Kenya ( ASSING 2012a). For illustrations of the aedeagus see ASSING (2012a).

Zusammenfassung

Sechs Arten der Gattung Pseudolathra CASEY 1905 werden beschrieben und abgebildet: P. fissa nov.sp. (Südindien), P. biungulata nov.sp. ( Laos), P. transversiceps nov.sp. (Nordvietnam), P. bipectinata nov.sp. ( Laos), P. tonsa nov.sp. (Nordindien, Ostnepal) und P. separanda nov.sp. (Nordindien: Meghalaya, Uttaranchal). Weitere Nachweise von sieben beschriebenen und zwei vermutlich unbeschriebenen Arten aus der Ostpaläarktis und der Orientalis werden gemeldet. Pseudolathra ist derzeit mit 19 Arten in der Ostpaläarktis und der Orientalis vertreten. Die Verbreitungsgebiete von dreizehn Arten werden anhand von Karten illustriert. Das Typenmaterial von vier Arten aus der Neuen Welt wird revidiert: Pseudolathra inviolata (SCHEERPELTZ 1933) , nov.comb. (ex Lobrathium MULSANT & REY 1878 ); Pseudolathra integra ( SHARP 1876) , nov.comb (ex Lathrobium GRAVENHORST 1802 ); Pseudolathra filicornis (CASEY 1805) , Typusart von Paralathra CASEY 1805; Pseudolathra filitarsis (CASEY 1805) , Typusart von Linolathra CASEY 1805. Für Linolathra filitarsis CASEY 1805 wird ein Lectotypus designiert; dieser Lectotypus wird abgebildet. Die Synonymie von Linolathra und Paralathra mit Pseudolathra wird bestätigt.
