Description
Trigastrotheca acroceropsis Ranjith & Quicke nom. nov.
Figs 27, 28
Acrocerilia tricolor Quicke & Ingram, 1993: 302, 306.
Diagnosis.
Tricolourous, orange-red, black, and ivory white. Mesoscutum orange-red without dark marks as in T. griffini Quicke, sp. nov. but differs in the black central area of T 2 being far larger and widening posteriorly. Basal lobe of claw largely rounded with small distal tooth (Fig. 28 D). In addition, see Quicke and Ingram (1993: 304, 306).
Notes.
After re-examining images of the male holotype Acrocerilia tricolor, we found that it is not conspecific with the type species of Acrocerilia, viz. A. pachynervis van Achterberg, 1989, also based on a male specimen, and we hereby formally transfer it to Trigastrotheca. The species name tricolor is preoccupied in the genus Trigastrotheca (T. tricolor Quicke & Ingram, 1993). Trigastrotheca tricolor is therefore a secondary homonym. Here we propose T. acroceropsis Ranjith & Quicke as a replacement name.
