Stomorhina chapini Curran, 1931 View in CoL

= Stomorhina chapini Curran, 1931: 16. Type locality: Zaire [Democratic Republic of Congo], Lukulela.

= Rhinia patrizii Peris, 1952: 29. Type locality: Kenya, Ngong. Remarks: Zumpt (1962) indicated that S. patrizzi is identical to S. chapini after he examined the type series at NHMUK, but did not suggest it as Syn. nov. Subsequently, Pont (1980) considered this as a synomyn of S. chapini .

Distribution

Afrotropical: Cameroon, Democratic Republic of Congo, Kenya, Liberia, Namibia, South Africa (Fig. 15 View Figure 15 ), Tanzania, Uganda. Palaearctic: Saudi Arabia.

Notes

Preferred environment: associated with Ficus forest, Acacia thornveld, indigenous forest and margin, sand forest and broad-leafed deciduous forest and long grass and woodland areas. In the Democratic Republic of Congo, the species was associated with lowland evergreen primary forest (disturbed). In Namibia, a single record was reported from the Mesic Savannah Biome ( Kurahashi and Kirk-Spriggs 2006). Recorded elevations: 50-800 m a.s.l. Seasonality: highest abundance in April and from November to January; absent in February, September and October. Uncommon the rest of the year (1-2 specimens per month). Behaviour and ecology: unknown. Life cycle and developmental stages: unknown. Collection methods: Malaise traps in Namibia ( Kurahashi and Kirk-Spriggs 2006). Illustrations and photographs: male habitus as in Fig. 16 View Figure 16 . Male terminalia as in fig. 30 in Zumpt (1958).
