Ochthebius (Aulacochthebius) continentalis Orchymont. Robert 1929
Authors/Creators
Description
O. (A.) continentalis Orchymont 1929
Originally described from Kenya. According to the original description this species has distinctive longitudinal grooves on the metaventral plaque (e.g., Fig. 9). I have examined specimens, including the male genitalia, from Kenya, Angola and South Africa, which have the plaque grooves. All of these specimens have the same shape of the aedeagus (Fig. 9). This identity decision needs to be verified by examining, including the male genitalia, type specimens of O. (A.) continentalis Orchymont, which should be in the Orchymont collection at the Brussels Museum (RBINS).
