Notes. Karsch (1889) wrote: »Das Königliche Museum für Naturkunde in Berlin besitzt vier Sapho -Arten, [...] und eine der S. orichalcea im weiblichen Geschlechte ähnliche, noch unbeschriebene Art aus Afrika, leider ohne nähere Angaben des Fundorts und in nur einem einzigen Exemplare: Sapho venusta , nov. spec., ♀, [...]«. This description is based on one single female, which was found in the Berlin collection and is consequently the holotype.
