Notes on Afrotropical Catharsius species described by Edgar von Harold (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae, Scarabaeinae) Author Génier, François Author Josso, Jean-François text Zootaxa 2016 4072 3 333 342 journal article 46857 10.11646/zootaxa.4072.3.3 7d92035f-e4aa-40c7-a424-5e8047d30799 1175-5326 261812 C42DAE9A-4E94-4CA6-B9C8-A5FE15A47CD8 Catharsius harpagus Harold, 1877 ( Figs. 8–12 ) Catharsius harpagus Harold, 1877 : 97 Type locality. Delagoa Bay ( Mozambique ) Three specimens are in the collection. A male and a female are from recent collecting (1963) and have been seen by M.C. Ferreira. The remaining specimen is a syntype . Harold’s description is clear in stating a length range of “22–30 mill.” in the original description excluding the possibility of a unique specimen studied. Harold also stated “Specimina typica in Museo Berolinensi asservantur” for the type deposition. It is possible that the remaining specimens studied by Harold are deposited in different collection(s). Fortunately, the syntype studied is a well-developed male. This specimens is designated as lectotype ( present designation ) and bears the following labels ( Fig. 10 ): [Delagoa/ Bay] white paper; [72066] white paper; [ Type ] red card; [D. O . Africa/ 36] red handwriting on white paper; [ O .-Afrika/ Delagoa boy/ Felsche] handwriting on blue paper; [ SYNTYPUS / Catharsius / harpagus Harold, 1877 / labelled by MNHUB 2014] red card; [ LECTOTYPE ♂/ Catharsius / harpagus / Harold, 1877 / dés. F. Génier, 2014] red card. Remark. The male lectotype has been dissected and the aedeagus extracted ( Figs. 11–12 ). This species is currently valid with no synonyms. No change in the taxonomic status of this species is required.
