Description
Procilia holosericea (Dohrn, 1863), comb. nov.
(Figs. 73–76)
Scutellera holosericea Dohrn, 1863: 347. Syntype (s): [Indonesia:] Java (in error); ZMPA!
Scutellera holosericea: Walker (1867: 16) (listed, distribution), Stål (1873: 31) (as of doubtful generic placement, listed, distribution), Lethierry & Severin (1893: 21) (as of doubtful generic placement, catalogue, distribution), Schouteden (1904: 23) (as of doubtful generic placement, catalogue, distribution), Kirkaldy (1909: 304) (catalogue, distribution), Tsai et al. (2011: 153) (as of doubtful identity, listed, distribution).
Remarks. Scutellera holosericea was described based on an unspecified number of specimens from Java (Dohrn 1863). The species was omitted by subsequent authors except for taxonomic catalogues; most subsequent authors (Stål 1873, Lethierry & Severin 1893, Schouteden 1904, Tsai et al. 2011) questioned its generic placement or listed it as a species of doubtful identity.A re-examination of a syntype (Figs. 73–78) deposited in ZMPA concluded that the species belongs to the Afrotropical genus Procilia Stål, [1865], therefore the type locality is declared as erroneous, and the combination Procilia holosericea (Dohrn, 1863), comb. nov., is tentatively proposed. The species is likely a junior synonym of P. morgani (White, 1839); however, as we could not examine the type material of the latter species, moreover the genus Procilia is unrevised and currently we are unable to undertake its revision, we leave this problem for a future reviser.
