Ruteloryctes morio (Fabricius) [synonymy by Paulian 1954: 1123].
syn. Melolontha hottentotta Schönherr, 1817: 187 [original combination].

Types.
Endrődi (1966) stated that there was a “type” at MNHN (Desfontaines Collection) without further details. Types of R. tristis and M. hottentotta were not reported on by Endrődi (1966). Arrow (1908) stated that he had specimens of R. tristis at the BMNH and in the Oberthür Collection. Prell (1937a) examined a female specimen of M. morio at ZMUK (now at ZMUC), and it is possible that this Fabrician specimen is still in that collection.
