Description

Typhaeola vicina (Grouvelle, 1908) comb. nov.

Atritomus vicinus Grouvelle, 1908: 378–379.

Remarks

Grouvelle (1908) described Atritomus vicinus from a single male collected by Rothschild in Ethiopia (Rothschild 1922a, 1922b). This species, listed under Atritomus also by Hetschko (1930), was no longer mentioned by any of the subsequent authors. Although we have not yet been able to directly access the holotype of A. vicinus for dissection, because of restrictions due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the highresolution images provided by our colleague Antoine Mantilleri (MNHN) (Fig. 2) allowed us to place this species in the genus Typhaeola Ganglbauer, 1899.
