Description
Psectrocladius cf. schlienzi Wülker, 1956
Material examined.
Namibia • 1 ♂; OTJOZONDJUPA; Gross Barmen; 22 ° 6 ' 38.16 " S, 16 ° 44 ' 42 " E; 4 Dec. 2018; X. Lin leg.; sweep net; SHOU; BOLD specimen code: NAM 65; BOLD sequence ID: NAMCH 055-20; BOLD BIN: BOLD: ACK 4896.
Distribution.
This is the first record of the species from Namibia, but numerous representatives of the same BIN were previously recorded from South Africa (BOLD: ACK 4896, Freeman 1956; Freeman and Cranston 1980; Curtis 1991; Harrison 2004; Ashe and O’Connor 2012). It is worth noting that this species is otherwise distributed in the Palaearctic (Austria, Denmark, Finland, Germany, United Kingdom, Italy, Moldova, Mongolia, Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Slovakia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland) (Ashe and O’Connor 2012). It is, therefore, worth considering that the specimen that we have found belongs to a yet undescribed species of Psectrocladius related to P. schlienzi. More material is needed before we can test this hypothesis.
