Remarks.
Gnorimoschema phalacrodes
was described from a male and a female from Waterval Onder,
Mpumalanga Province
of
South Africa
. The male was illustrated by
Janse (1951
, pl. 91, fig. 11) as “type,” and that reference is considered as a valid
lectotype
designation. The genitalia of the
lectotype
leave no doubt that the species belongs to the genus
Trychnopalpa
Janse, 1958
and is most likely conspecific with
T. fornacaria
Janse, 1958
, described from the same locality.
