Description
Idgia hirta (Walker, 1871) nomen dubium
Prionocerus hirtus Walker, 1871: 14. Idgia hirta: Champion, 1919: 336.
The original description of this species is very poor and the type material seems to be lost (as already noted by Champion (1919)). It was tentatively placed in Idgia, as a possible senior synonym of I. arabica Champion, 1919, although it is not from the Arabian peninsula but from the opposite African coast (Tajura is in today's Djibouti). According to its original description and its type locality, it is highly unlikely to belong to Prionocerus and rather seems to be identical to one of the African species related to I. dimidiata (Gerstaecker, 1871). As long as the type (if it still exists) is not rediscovered, it must be treated as " nomen dubium ".
