status

Prasinocyma camerunalta ( Herbulot, 1986) , comb.n.

Thalassodes camerunalta Herbulot (1986) View in CoL : 125. Locus typicus: Cameroon: Bafout N'Guemba Forest, 9km SE of Bamenda, 2080m (Holotype ♂ ZSM/Herbulot, examined). Herewith transferred from genus Thalassodes ( Scoble 1999) View in CoL .

Material. Type series including holotype, see above.

Remarks. In habitus much resembling the following species, for differential diagnosis see there. In habitus the angled hindwings and pale fringe seem to justify a placement in genus Thalassodes . Nevertheless, the species is transferred from genus Thalassodes to Prasinocyma here, because of the genetic (COI) similarity with P. angolica , P. niveisticta Prout, 1912 and P. salutaria and because of common morphological features such as vestigial socii and distinctly bilobous sternum A8 (see also above the remarks to the bifimbriata species-group).
