Thamnobia quadrivirgata Reichenow, 1879b: 114 .

Now: Tychaedon quadrivirgata quadrivirgata (Reichenow, 1879) . See Deignan et al. (1964: 25).

Syntype: ZMB 24247 (B 15686, Fischer no. 267), skin, former mount, male, collected at Kipini, 28.07.[1878] .

Syntype (missing): Fischer no. 263, male, collected at Kipini, [27.07.1878].

Type locality: “ Kipini (Ostafrica)” [ Kipini , Tana River County, Kenya], from the original description as well as locality of the syntypes .

Remarks: In the original description measurements for more than one specimen and the locality “Kipini (Ostafrica)” were given. Fischer & Reichenow (1879) listed two specimens (nos. 263, 267) from Kipini for this species, so both are regarded as syntypes. The whereabouts of specimen no. 263 are unknown. It was neither inventoried in Berlin nor mentioned in Bolau (1898) as the type for the ZMH, but such a specimen was listed as type specimen in a sales list ( Reichenow 1878b).
