Treatment

24. Chalepistes spermophilus ( Broun, 1895) View in CoL new combination

Catoptes spermophilus Broun, 1895:405 View in CoL (Synonymised with Irenimus compressus View in CoL by Kuschel, 1969:800) Catoptes subnitidus Broun, 1914:206 View in CoL (Synonymised with Irenimus compressus View in CoL by Kuschel, 1969:800) Catoptes curvatus Broun, 1914:206 View in CoL (Synonymised with Irenimus aequalis View in CoL by Kuschel, 1969:805) This species is removed from synonymy with the externally similar C. compressus View in CoL on the basis of clear aedeagal characters and genetic differences. The apex of the penis in C. compressus View in CoL is sagittate ( Kuschel, 1969: Figure 11 View FIGURES 9 – 14 ), while the apex of the penis in C. spermophilus View in CoL is broadly rounded.
