Homoeocerus fuscicornis Horváth, 1893 View in CoL
( Figs 27–34 View Figs 23–37 )
Homoeocerus fuscicornis Horváth, 1893:259–260 View in CoL (original description). Homoeocerus fuscicornis View in CoL : LETHIERRY & SEVERIN (1894): 36 (catalogue); SCHOUTEDEN (1938): 258 (comparison with H. pallens View in CoL , distribution), 263 (comparison with H. overlaeti View in CoL ).
Homoeocerus fuscicornis View in CoL : VILLIERS (1973): 398 (distribution); LINNAVUORI (1978): 15 (figures of male genital capsule).
Type locality. ‘Africa centralis (HOLUB)’ [= Southern and southern-central Africa between Cape Town and Kafue River, Zambia].
Type material examined. SYNTYPE: 1 ( HNHM), ‘978 / 14. [hw, with p frame and p horizontal line across middle] // Africa / (Holub) [Horváth’s hw] // Homoeocerus / fuscicornis Horv [Horváth’s hw]’ (pinned through scutellum, right pedicel and flagellum, right mid and both hind legs, tarsus of right fore leg, tarsal segment III of left mid leg lacking) ( Figs 27–30 View Figs 23–37 ). Topotypic material examined. 1 ♀ ( HNHM), ‘Holub’ [p] (pinned through scutellum) ( Figs 31–34 View Figs 23–37 ); 1 ( NMPC), ‘Holub [p] // COLL. NICKERL / MUS.PRAGENSE [p, with p frame submarginally] // [p] // Homoeocerus / fuscicornis / Horvath typ. Caffr. [hw with pencil]’ (pinned through right clavus); 1 ( NMPC), ‘Holub [p, pink label] // 8. [hw, green label] // [p] // Homoeocerus / fuscicornis / Horv. n. sp. [hw with black ink]’ (pinned through right clavus); 1 ( NMPC), ‘Holub [p, pink label] // [p]’ (pinned through pronotum); 1 ♀ ( NMPC), ‘Holub [p, pink label] // ♀ [p]’ (pinned through scutellum).All four NMPC specimens bear the following label: ‘topotype, not syntype / HOMOEOCERUS / FUSCICORNIS / Horváth, 1893 / det. P. KMENT 2018’ [p].
Additional material examined. ANGOLA: ʻAfrica occ.port.,Angolaʼ, 1, O. V. Schneider lgt. ( NMPC).
Current status. Valid species, Homoeocerus (Ornytoides) fuscicornis Horváth, 1893 (see WEBB et al. 2018).
Distribution. Angola (this paper), Democratic Republic of the Congo ( SCHOUTEDEN 1938) and Republic of the Congo ( VILLIERS 1973).
Remarks. This species was described based on an unspecified number of male(s) ( HORVÁTH 1893). Only one male bearing Horváth’s handwritten locality and identification label, deposited in HNHM, is considered as syntype. One female deposited in the HNHM and three males and one female in the NMPC do not fit the original description and therefore they are considered as specimens without type status.
