Aethiomerus stenorhinus Saussure, 1899 n. syn.

Specimens studied: Syntypes, 1 male, 1 female, Zanzibar coast, coll. Steind. 1888, NMW Vienna; 1 female, Sansibar, Museum d´Histoire Naturelle, Geneva, images OSF, Holotype Aethiomerus stenorhinus .

Saussure (1899) described Aethiomerus stenorhinus on a female collected in Zanzibar. He stated that the species has a different process of the vertex and since only males are known for Aethiomerus (two malagassan species) he was not sure whether the new species really belonged to Aethiomerus . The study of specimens in the Naturkunde Museum Vienna and images available from the type of A. stenorhinus on the Orthoptera Species file online (Eades et al. 2012) stored in Geneva showed that A. stenorhinus is conspecific with Afroagraecia sansibara described by Redtenbacher (1899).
