[ Fig. 184 ] Original data : “ Collection of Rhynchota made at Yambuya on the River Aruwimi , by Mr. W. Bonny of the Emin Pasha Relief expedition under Mr. H. M. Stanley. ” [ syntype (s)] SYNTYPE ♀ : blue-margined syntype disc; red-margined type disc; “Yambuya R. Aruwimi (Bonny)”; “ silvaticus Dist. [Distant’s handwriting]”; “Distant Coll. 1911–383.”; “NHMUK 010592150”. Third to fifth right antennomeres, second to fifth left antennomeres, and legs (except the right middle leg) missing; abdomen partially disjointed from thorax ( Fig. 184 ). Current status : Planopsis silvatica (Distant, 1890) (see Schouteden 1907: 50 ; Bergroth 1908: 182 ; Thomas 1994: 194 ). Note : In the original description, the words “antennae mutilated” may mean that Distant just described the species from this single specimen, but we cannot be sure; there may have been many, all with antennae mutilated; we therefore consider the specimen a syntype .
