Shellenius lyncaeste (Fennah) comb. nov.
Otiocerus lyncaeste Fennah, 1952: 156 View in CoL
Remarks. This species was described by Fennah (1952: 156) also exhibits a “head in profile broadly rounded at apex”, which is more similar to Shellenius than to Otiocerus . Furthermore, Fennah (1952:157) mentioned that this species resembled O. griseus Fowler in the shape of the head in profile, but the latter species has already been transferred to the genus Shellenius by Metcalf (1945:185). Accordingly, Shellenius lyncaeste comb. nov. (= Otiocerus fontis Fennah, 1952: 156 ) is proposed here.
