However, both G. varians and G. sericinitens Bates, 1884 are listed as accepted names ( Schoolmeesters 2021 ). The former includes only three subspecies: Gnathocera varians antoinei Beinhundner, 2006 , Gnathocera varians histrionica De Lisle, 1947 and Gnathocera varians roseni Schürhoff, 1939 . Beinhundner (2017) lists Gnathocera varians sericinitens under G. sericinitens Bates, 1884 with reference to Allard (1991) where this name combination is listed and where it may have been first used. Allard (1991) lists this taxon from from Nigeria , Niger and Burkina Faso , and Le Gall (2015) , records it from Benin .
