Last segment of maxillar palpi elongate, 1.4 times as long as penultimate (Figs 28–29). Sclerite of bursa copulatrix as in fig. 42.</p><p>Comments. For a long time this species has remained mysterious. Partly due to the fact that it was described from a single specimen with an unclear label (Fig. 55), and the habitat was considered to be Sudan (Valainis, 2016). In fact, at the end of the 19th century “Haut-Soudan” was the name of the territory of the French colony, which now for the most part corresponds to the nations of Mali, Burkina Faso and Niger. This place falls within the species’ range of O. alluaudi syn. n. (Fig. 57). In its description Dupuis (1913: 216) indicated that the elytra have 14 striae, but the studied type specimen has 15 striae. The possible synonymy of O. (P.) alluaudi Dupuis, 1913 with O. (P.) vittulatum Fairmaire, 1894 had already been noticed by Basilevsky in 1960, who mentioned it on the label under the holotype of O. alluaudi (Fig. 56), but these data have never been published. We confirm and establish the new synonymy here.</p><p>Distribution. Angola, Cameroon, Central African Republic, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Chad, Gabon, Mali, Nigeria (Fig. 57). Previous mentions for Senegal (Valainis, 2016) belong to “Haut Senegal ” the name of the territory of the French colony which now for the most part corresponds to the nations of Mali, Burkina Faso and Niger.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/660C5C63FFC4FFA793B9FCBAFF04FC1A	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
