Euphoresia alboparsa Moser, 1913 Figure 4

Euphoresia alboparsa Moser, 1913b: 180-181 (type locality: "Kasai: Kondué”).

Syntypes.

Ed. Luja / Kondué / Congo-Belge // Donateur 868a / Ed, Luja, / Lux[em]b[our]g V.1911 // Euphoresia / alboparsa Mos. [handwritten by Moser] // 2352, 1♂; ditto, Donateur 868b / Ed, Luja, / Lux[em]b[our]g V.1911 // 2353, 1♀.

Remarks.

The species was described from an unknown number of specimens measuring 12 mm in body length, which Luja collected during his third mission in Kondué.

The specimens preserved in the MHNL do not show the wording “type” as some of Moser’s other species, but, considering the fact that Moser used different kind of labels, the specimens should be considered as syntypes.
