Pselliophora maculata Verhoeff, 1905a

Type material.

Present name.

Junior synonym of Sphendononema rugosa (Newport, 1844); synonymized by Würmli (2005).

The collector could be the explorer and later governor of German East Africa [Tanzania], Gustav Adolf Graf von Götzen (1866-1910). The expedition which led to this material was probably that undertaken from 1893-1894.
