Isosaphanus ferranti Hintz, 1913

= Iridoclava congolensis Bj ¸rnstad, 2014 n. syn.

A simple comparison of the picture of the type ( Vitali, 2010: Fig. 11) allows verifying that Iridoclava congolensis is actually a younger syn on ym of th is species. Th e types of Iridoclava congolensis ar e topotypical (Kondué), collected by the same person (the Luxembourgish biologist and explorer Eduard Luja) and even having the pink label “ Ferranti Hintz ” (Bj¸rnstad, 2014), which actually indicated a paratype of Isosaphanus Ferranti. This genus is not related with Hexarrhopala Gahan, 1890 , as Bj¸rnstad (2014) claimed, or other African Sestyrini but with some other Xystrocerini with elongated habitus, such as Oemodana Gahan, 1904 ; Gennarus Adlbauer, 2008 ; Oxycau loeme Lepesme, 1948; Ethiolygrus Adlbauer, 2008 and Neolygrus Martins, 1980 .
