Dichecephala moseri ( Ritsema, 1912) comb. nov.

Apogonia lobata Kolbe, 1910: 347 (nec Ritsema, 1904); Ritsema, 1912: 128 (catalogue)

Apogonia Moseri Ritsema, 1912: 128 (nom. nov. for A. lobata Kolbe )

Apogonia meruana Dalla Torre, 1912: 140 (nom. nov. for A. lobata Kolbe ); Ritsema, 1913c: 128 (syn. of A. moseri )

Type locality: " Kilimanjaro " .

Distribution: Tanzania ( Kolbe, 1910).

Remark: Ritsema (1912) established A. moseri as a new name for A. lobata Kolbe ; his paper was published in April 1912. In the same year, Dalla Torre (1912) created another new name ( A. meruana ) for A. lobata Kolbe , but his article was published only in December 1912. Therefore, A. moseri has priority over A. meruana because of its earlier publication date (see also Ritsema, 1913c).
