Description

infuscata (Macrorhaphis) Walker 1868: 531. [Fig. 85]

Original data: “ a. Whydah. From Mr. Fraser’s collection.” [holotype]

HOLOTYPE ♀: red-margined holotype disc; green-margined type disc; “53 74”; “ MACRORHAPHIS INFUSCATA. ♀ sp. n. F. Walker 1868 ”; “G. Schmitz det. 1976 Macrorhaphis acuta DALLAS ”; “NHMUK 010592176”. Specimen carded; antennae and left legs missing; abdomen loose; genital plates inside a vial glass (Fig. 85).

Current status: Macrorhaphis (Megarhaphis) acuta Dallas, 1851 (synonymised by Schouteden 1905: 177; see Schouteden 1907: 39, for the subgeneric placement.).

Note: Walker (1868) had noted: “This may be a variety of M. acuta, from which it is distinguished by the longer ventral spine.” Indeed, the species was later synonymised to M. acuta by Schouteden (1905).
