If these are syntypes it will be necessary to designate lectotypes for both  fascipennisand  semirufus. I have seen many specimens from both Willowmore and Deleray collected by Brauns.  A. maculipennis- 1♂1♀ syntypes(  maculipennis), Zimbabwe, Saw Mills (and other material from same locality) apparently in the National Museum of Zimbabwe, Bulawayo.

Although I have not seen Ricardo’s syntypes of  maculipennis, I here designate the male as lectotypeand the female as paralectotype.    A. fascipennis: The most widely distributed species, known from six climatic regions.
