Charops ater
Szépligeti, 1908
Remarks –
This Afrotropical species, described from
Tanzania
and later found also in
Kenya
(
SZÉPLIGETI 1908
,
SEYRIG 1935
), is erroneously reported also from
Indonesia
in
YU and HORSTMANN (1997)
and
YU
et al
. (2012)
; the reason of the false Oriental distribution record is confusion with an Indonesian species with secondary homonym name:
Charops ater
Szépligeti, 1910
, described as
Agrypon atrum
Szépligeti, 1910
, later moved into combination with
Charops
(
SZÉPLIGETI 1910
,
TOWNES
et al
. 1961
). Due to homonymy, the Indonesian species originally described as
Agrypon atrum
Szépligeti, 1910
received the replacement name
Charops cavendishae
Kittel, 2016
, while
Charops ater
Szépligeti, 1908
is a valid name for the Afrotropical species (
KITTEL 2016
).
