S. (Scarabaeolus) laevifrons Fairmaire, 1884 View in CoL

Scarabaeus laevifrons Fairmaire 1884: 121 View in CoL . Janssens 1940: 17, 37; zur Strassen 1967: 140, fig. 12a–c; Ferreira 1968a: 7; 1972: 37, 41, pl. 10.3; Zidek and Pokorný 2004: 16; Deschodt et al. 2015: 522.

HT—MNHN, from Somalia: “ Makdischu ” [= Mogadishu ]. Somalia.

Length 10–14 mm.

ISNB has seven specimens (3m, 4f) identically labeled “ Somalia ”, six of them identified by Janssens and one (f) by Gillet. The latter one bears the label “ SYNTYPE?”, but since the HT is at MNHN it would have to be a PT.
