Oedura halli Hewitt, 1935

Records of the Albany Museum, 4:321; Plate XXIX, Figs1–2 .

Current name: Afroedura halli ( Hewitt, 1935)

Topotypes (2): PEM R8481 and 8502 (formerly AMG 6880); Telle Junction near Palmietfontein, Herschel district, Eastern Cape Province, South Africa; Mr. Chas Hall.

Remarks. The type description refers to two adult male specimens in the NMP. Although one of the syntypes was exchanged to the TMP (no. 19183) according to Mashinini & Mahlangu (2013). In the description it is mentioned that Mr. Hall presented an additional nine specimens to Hewitt (p. 323). The PEM have two of these specimens with exactly the same collection details as the syntypes. The PEM male specimens (PEM R8502) fit the illustrated specimens in the type description. It is best to regard the PEM material as topotypes. Additional nontype PEM specimens referred to in the type description: Majuba Nek (PEM R8454, R8573), Cala (PEM R8898) and Masito (PEM R11918).
