Physocephala caenostylatus Kröber 1936

Primary type material examined. ♀ holotype of Physocephala caenostylatus Kröber, 1936 : (1) “ Ph. Type ♂ / caenostylus [sic]”; (2) “ Musée du Congo / Kibali-Ituri: Kilo / V-1930 / G. du Soleil ”; (3) “R. DÉT / U / 2992”; (4) “ Physocephala ♂ / caenostylus [sic]/ Krb / det. Kröber 1935”; (5) “Typus”; (6) “RMCA ENT / 000012178”; coll. MRAC .

Additional material. KENYA: 1♀, 7.x.2013, S. Masai Reserve , des. as syntype of P. pubescens , leg. T. J. An- derson, coll. NHML [ NHMUK010922163 View Materials ] ; TOGO: 1♂, vi.2008, Kloto, forest area [6°57’31.66″N 0°34›29.75″E], leg. G. Goergen, coll. IITA .

Whilst identification of female P. caenostylata is straightforward males are very difficult. We are not convinced that all specimens can be safely distinguished from those of P. pubescens .
