Dasiosoma basilewskyi Shi & Liang nom. n. Habitus: Fig. 54

Dasiosoma hirsutum Basilewsky 1949: 222 (type locality: Congo; holotype deposited in MRAC). Junior secondary homonym of Dasiosoma hirsutum (Bates, 1873) [Synonym]

Type examined.

Holotype of Dasiosoma hirsutum Basilewsky, monotypy (MRAC): female, body length = 6.9 mm, board mounted, "Holotype / hirsutum / Basil." [red label]; "Musee Du Congo / Ituri: / La Moto: Madyu / L. Burgeon"; " Dasiosoma / sp. n. / E. B. Britton. / det. 5.v.193 8 "; " Dasiosoma / hirsutum, sp. n. / P. Basilewsky det., 19 48 "[Fig. 54].

Etymology.

We propose this name in honor of P. Basilewsky, a well known specialist on African Carabidae, who first described this species.

Remarks.

In moving Singilis hirsutus Bates to Dasiosoma , the name Dasiosoma hirsutum Basilewsky becomes a junior secondary homonym. So we give a new name for this species herein.
