Veribubo Evenhuis View in CoL

Tumulus Hull, 1973: 403 , 404 (as subgenus of Thyridanthrax Osten Sacken View in CoL ). Type species: Anthrax misellus Loew, 1869 View in CoL , by original designation. [Preoccupied by Monterosato, 1888.]

Veribubo Evenhuis, 1978 b: 247 View in CoL (new replacement name for Tumulus Hull, 1973 ). Type species: Anthrax misellus Loew, 1869 View in CoL , automatic.

Comments: This genus was proposed by Hull (1973) (as Thyridanthrax subgenus Tumulus , but unfortunately this name is preoccupied) for species with a single robust flagellomere. In contrast to Exhyalanthrax spp. , the males tend to have more developed wing patterns than females. The species now allocated to it indicate an Eremian distribution for the genus.

Keys: Palaearctic, Engel (1932 –7); Eritrea /northern Ethiopia, Greathead (1967) both as Thyridanthrax .

Distribution: Eremian Region. North Africa: 6 species. Africa South of the Sahara: 5 species; Veribubo anus (Wiedemann) ( Sudan) , V. capella (Greathead) ( Eritrea,? Mali), V. gazella Greathead ( Mali) , V. latonus (Wiedemann) ( Sudan) , V. pallescens (Greathead) ( Chad) .
