Description
Genus Synophryostreptus Attems, 1926
Synophryostreptus: Attems 1926: 199; 1928: 343; Demange 1970: 394; Krabbe 1982: 215; Hamer 1998: 51; 1999: 10.
Krugerostreptus Schubart, 1966: 111; Demange & Mauriès 1975: 76.
Type species: Synophryostreptus punctatus Attems, 1928, by monotypy.
Diagnosis: Metazonites wider than the prozonites. Surface with numerous strongly raised, short, longitudinal keels. Femoral process (Fig. 58, fp) of telopodite originating at femoral knee together with short, broad lobe (Fig. 58, fl), and telopodite with a second short, acute, femoral process slightly more distad (Figs 58, 59, fp2).
Remarks: The tribe Trachystreptini to which Synphryostreptus belongs is mainly restricted to East Africa. Members of the tribe live cryptically and occur mostly in humid tropical and subtropical forests (Lawrence 1973). Three species are known, S. carli (Attems, 1928) from Mozambique, S. punctatus from the northern provinces of South Africa, and S. rugosostriatus (Schubart, 1966) from the northern parts of South Africa, including the Kruger National Park, and the more forested Caprivi region of Namibia.
It is unclear exactly who synonymised Krugerostreptus under Synophryostreptus, since Krabbe (1982) cited Hoffman (1976), but she did not include this paper in her reference list and it does not appear to exist.
