Treatment

Scrapter rufescens ( Friese, 1912) View in CoL

Strandiella rufescens Friese, 1912: 184–185 ; holotype ♂ (type locality: Kapstadt, South Africa) (type depository unknown), not examined (lost?)

According to Kuhlmann (2021), S. rufescens belongs to the S. nitidus View in CoL species group but has to be treated as a nomen dubium because type material could not be located and the description is not detailed enough for an identification. Potentially, this species represents the male of S. sphecodoides .
