Revision of the genus Myrmecobrenthus Kleine with a description of a new species from Gabon (Coleoptera: Brentidae: Eremoxenini) Author Bartolozzi, Luca Author Loudit, Sandrine Mariella Bayendi text Zootaxa 2011 3101 53 58 journal article 45972 10.5281/zenodo.279180 48f8032a-1ca3-4de2-9400-2421dd4635fd 1175-5326 279180 Myrmecobrenthus wasmanni Kleine ( Figs. 1–2 , 5–6, 9 ) Myrmecobrenthus wasmanni Kleine, 1920 : 27 The holotype of this species was destroyed in the Second World War, during the bombing of the German city of Hamburg. Basilewsky (1956) designated a neotype , which is preserved at MRAC and which we have been able to examine. In the original description Kleine (1920) described the species based on a single male specimen from South Cameroon ; the neotype was designated as a male specimen from Yangambi (ex Belgian Congo , now Democratic Republic of the Congo ). Myrmecobrenthus wasmanni was known from Cameroon , Democratic Republic of the Congo (ex Zaire ), Ghana , and the Ivory Coast ( Sforzi & Bartolozzi 2004 ). Thanks to the entomological expeditions of Mr. Susuni, we have been able to examine two specimens from Gabon ( Figs 1–2 ) which represent a new record for the country. The label data are: 1 3, Makokou/Ipassa, II.2011 , A. Susini legit ( MZUF , collection number 15686) and 1 Ƥ, Parc de l’Ivindo, V.2009 , A. Susini legit ( MZUF , collection number 15687). Other examined material: 1 3, 1 Ƥ, Ivory Coast , Lamto (Toumadi), II.1968 , C. Girard legit ( MZUF , collection number 15688); 1 Ƥ, Ghana , Hohee, III.1986 , K. Werner legit ( MZUF , collection number 15689). The female has never been figured before; it differs from the male by the tubular shape of the prorostrum ( Figs. 6, 9 ).
