Coranopsis vitatus (incorrect subsequent spelling): VAN EEDEN et al. (1991): 256 (record, habitat):

Type locality. ‘Africa centralis (HOLUB)’ [= Southern and southern-central Africa between Cape Town and Kafue River, Zambia].

Type material examined. SYNTYPE: 1 ♀ (HNHM), ‘Holub [p, pink label] // vittata [Horváth’s hw] / det. Horváth [p, “det.” corrected to “typ.” by hw of Horváth] // Coranopsis / vittata Horv. [Horváth’s hw]’ (pinned through pronotum, both antennae, right fore and hind legs, distal part of left middle leg, and tarsi of all remaining legs lacking) (Figs 5–7).

Topotypic material examined. 1 ♀ (NMPC), ‘Holub [p, green label] // COLL.NICKERL / MUS.PRAGENSE [p, with p frame submarginally] // Coranopsis / vittata [hw] // ♀ [p]’ (pinned through pronotum); 2 ♀♀ (NMPC), ‘Holub [p, green label] // COLL.NICKERL / MUS.PRAGENSE [p, with p frame submarginally] // ♀ [p]’ (pinned through pronotum).All three specimens were provided with the following label: ‘topotype, not syntype / CORANOPSIS / VITTATA / Horváth, 1893 / det. P. KMENT 2018 [p]’.

Additional material examined. ANGOLA: Dundo, Lunda, iv. 1949, 1 1 ♀, A. B. Machado lgt. (NMPC). NIGERIA: Gashaka Gumti NP, Gashaka env., 20 km SE of Serti, 07°22′N 11°29′E, 380 m a.s.l., 25.iv.–5.v.2011, 1 spec., V. Kremitovský lgt., D. Rédei det. (MMBC).

Current status. Valid species; it was accurately redescribed and illustrated by VILLIERS (1948). It is the type species of the genus Coranopsis Horváth, 1893, by monotypy (cf. HORVÁTH 1893, MALDONADO CAPRILES 1990). MILLER (1953) discussed its bionomics and provided figures of eggs, different larval instars, and the adult.

Distribution. Angola (VILLIERS 1950, 1958), Cameroon (DESCAMPS 1954, VILLIERS 1983), Central African Republic (VILLIERS 1948), Chad (SILVIE et al. 1989), Democratic Republic of the Congo (SCHOUTEDEN 1932, 1944; VILLIERS 1948, 1964, 1967), Guinea (JEANNEL 1919, VILLIERS 1954b), Ivory Coast (VILLIERS 1948, 1949), Kenya (JEANNEL 1919), Mali (VILLIERS 1948), Senegal (VILLIERS 1956b), South Sudan (JEANNEL 1919, as Dar-Banda), Togo (VILLIERS 1948, 1952a), Republic of the Congo (VILLIERS 1948, 1966), Republic of South Africa (DISTANT 1903, VAN EEDEN et al. 1991), Uganda (VILLIERS 1948, no exact locality), Zimbabwe (DISTANT 1903, MILLER 1953).

Remarks. HORVÁTH (1893) described the species based on an unspecified number of female(s); a female bearing Horváth’s handwritten type label is deposited in HNHM (Figs 5–7).

HORVÁTH (1893) established the generic name Coranopsis as feminine, as it is indicated by the feminine ending of the combined adjective specific epithet vittat a. Moreover, ICZN (1999:Article 30.1.2, Examples) explicitly mentions generic names containing the latinized Greek suffix - opsis (= appearance, vision) to be feminine. Accordingly, MAL- DONADO CAPRILES (1990) and a few other authors incorrectly treated this generic name as masculine.
