Remarks. A species within the C. glabratus group (sensu Schein 1954a) like C. angolensis . Schein (1954a) suggested that C. kolbei could be a junior synonym of C. parrianus Westwood, 1883 , a proposal not followed in the catalogues of Marais & Holm (1992) and Krajcik (2008a). Biological and ecological data are not available for the species, but see general comments in Schein (1954a) and the remarks under the genus Coenochilus .
