Otiocerus fontis Fennah, 1952: 156 View in CoL
Remarks. Fennah (1952: 154) distinguished Otiocerus from Shellenius , characterizing the former by the “head in profile angulate at apex”, and the latter by the “head in profile rounded at apex”. Curiously, this species, described by Fennah (1952: 156) in the same publication, exhibits a “head in profile broadly rounded at apex”, which is more similar to Shellenius than to Otiocerus . Accordingly, Shellenius fontis comb. nov. (= Otiocerus fontis Fennah, 1952: 156 ) is proposed here.
