4.2.5. Typoderus iphitus sp. nov. Figs 1, 2, 3, 4, 8A-H.
Species diagnosis and description.
Holotype male (Figs 8A-H), length between anterior edge of pronotum and elytral apex 4.6 mm, DNA barcode: MH917891. Diagnostic combination of morphological characters as in Table 4. Sister clade to T. amphion sp. nov., T. telamon sp. nov. and T. clytius sp. nov. (Fig. 3).
Material examined.
Holotype male (CNC): " CAMEROON, Mt. Kupe, 4.8017, 9.7015, 1977m, 29.xii.2015, sift.CM15, V.Grebennikov ", “CNCCOLVG00009722” . Paratypes (CNC): 4, as in Fig. 3; specimens 9556, 9723 and 9724: same data as holotype; specimen 9531: " CAMEROON, Mt. Kupe, 4.8193, 9.7075, 1525m, 29.xii.2015, sift.CM13, V.Grebennikov " .
Distribution.
Known only from Mt. Kupe in Cameroon, in sympatry with T. telamon sp. nov. Elevation: 1,525-1,977 m.
Etymology.
Iphitus, from ancient Greek mythology, one of the Argonauts, brother of Clytius; noun in apposition.
Comment.
Being morphologically indistinguishable and sympatric, it is more parsimonious to treat all specimens assigned to this species as the same biological entity, despite a relatively deep intraspecific divergence (Figs 2 - 4).
