‘ Neuroctenus arnoldi Hoberlandt n. sp. ’

(Fig. 6)

Material examined. ‘ Neuroctenus arnoldi n. sp. ’: 1♁ (Fig. 6) 1♀, ‘Chirinda Forest / S. Rhodesia. / Nov. 1930 [p] / [black line] / Rhodesia Museum [p, black line on upper and bottom margin] Paratypus [p] ♁ [hw] / Neuroctenus / arnoldi n. sp. [hw] / Det. L. Hoberlandt 19[p]57[hw, pink label] // Paratypus [p] ♀ [hw] / Neuroctenus / arnoldi n. sp. [hw] / Det. L. Hoberlandt 19[p]57[hw, pink label] // n. sp. prope / socialis Horv. [p] // (NMPC).

Comment. On one of the labels attached to a female intended paratype, Hoberlandt stated that this species is near N. socialis Horváth, 1910 . There are more than twenty species of Neuroctenus Fieber, 1860 described from continental Africa, and there is no key available. The African species of this genus need a revision before the specimens of ‘ N. arnoldi ’ can be identified, therefore their identity remains unknown.
