038DB251FFD86F6FFF9B517EFD127BEC.taxon	discussion	Remarks. – In our opinion, Ferreira (1954: 367) correctly indicated that Z. bicolor could not continue to be allocated in Zamium Pascoe 1864, the genus where it was originally placed, based on the following morphological characteristics: “ last joint of the palpi acuminate at the apex, antennae pectinate, starting from the third joint, eyes very big, antennal tubercles not chamfered ” (Ferreira, 1954). These morphological characteristics together with the observed obtuse posterior angles of the pronotum conform to the characteristics of the genus Pectoctenus, rather than to the genus Alocerus as proposed by Ferreira (1954). Mulsant (1862) proposed the genus Alocerus for A. fulvus Mulsant, 1862 (currently, a junior synonym of A. moesiacus (Frivaldszky, 1837 )), Mediterranean species (Southern Europe and Northern Africa) (Sama, 1987; Verdugo Páez & Coello, 2003; Trócoli, 2018). The genus Alocerus is well defined by its habitus and especially by the short antennae in the male, with the pedicel almost equal to half the length of antennomere III, and the antero-external angles of antennomeres V – X toothed; the pronotum wider than long, widest at three-sevenths of its length measured from the base, with posterior angles almost directed outwards in the form of a small tooth (Mulsant, 1862). The characteristics and distribution mentioned above differentiate Alocerus from the related genus Pectoctenus Fairmaire, 1896, which was proposed for P. scalabrii Fairmaire, 1896, a Madagascan and sub-Saharan species (Lepesme, 1948; Adlbauer, 2018). In Pectoctenus, the male antennae are short and thickened, the pedicel is short, the antero-external angles of antennomeres III – X acutely serrate (Fairmaire, 1896); and the pronotum is basely depressed, with the posterior angles obtuse. The southern African distribution of Z. bicolor further suggests the placement in the genus Pectoctenus. As such, we propose Z. bicolor to be transferred to the genus Pectoctenus. We examined the type specimens of Zamium bicolor Distant, 1898 and Pectoctenus bryanti Lepesme, 1948. They show no morphological differences which leads us to treat them as synonyms. Pectoctenus bicolor is thus a senior subjective synonym of Pectoctenus bryanti. FAUNITAXYS - ISSN (Print): 2269 - 6016 - ISSN (Online): 2970 - 4960 Based on the detailed description and figure of Nannoprionus insignis Aurivillius, 1907, it is evident that this species may also be a member of the genus Pectoctenus, but unfortunately the type specimen could not be located for confirmation.	en	Bate, Riana, Bate, Michael D.

038DB251FFD96F6CFF785624FE437949.taxon	discussion	Remarks. – Adlbauer (2002) described Swaziphanes bimaculatus based on male specimens from Swaziland (1 ♂) and Zimbabwe (1 ♂). Delatour et al (2020) presented a ‘ likely’ ♀ specimen of S. bimaculatus from northern Mossel Bay, A B A. ♀, length 16,4 mm (SANC). B. ♂, length 13,7 mm (SANC). Eastern Cape Province, South Africa. From the excellent photograph provided (Delatour et al., 2020: Fig. 7), it is evident that the specimen depicted is not S. bimaculatus, but rather a ♀ specimen of Zamium bimaculatum. We have examined 13 male and 9 female specimens of S. bimaculatus and compared them with the type specimen. The females approximate the males as described by Adlbauer (2002), with the exception of the shorter antennae length (not exceeding the apex of the elytra) and a larger stature (see Figure 2). The SANC accession book data indicate that Schotia brachypetala Sond. (Weeping boer-bean) and an Acacia species (more likely Vachellia or Senegalia, rather than Acacia sensu stricto) are host plants of S. bimaculatus. Schotia brachypetala occurs in open deciduous bushveld, drier woodland, scrub forest and along river banks (Coates Palgrave, 2002), from the Eastern Cape Province in the south through KwaZulu-Natal, Eswatini, Mozambique, northwards through Mpumalanga and the Limpopo Province into Zimbabwe, and westwards into the North West Province (Schmidt et al., 2007).

038DB251FFDA6F6DFF9B5636FB227F69.taxon	discussion	Remarks. – Martins (1976) proposed, based on morphological characteristics of Z. incultum Pascoe, 1864, the transfer of the genus Zamium to the Hesperophanini (Cerambycinae). Our study of specimens of Zamium bimaculatum revealed that the procoxae are globulose, procoxal cavities are closed laterally, mesocoxal cavities are open to the mesepimeron; first 4 visible urosternites (urosternites III - V 1) are unequal in length; and the stridulatory plate of the mesonotum is undivided. We therefore agree with Martins’s tribal placement of the genus. Ferreira (1954: 367) stated with regard to Z. prociduum Pascoe, 1864 that this species cannot remain in the genus Zamium due to “ the presence of a very small spine in the inner apical angles of the third to the sixth joints of the antennae, the convexity of the body, the procoxal cavities closed. ” We studied the holotype of Z. prociduum Pascoe, deposited in BMNH (Fig. 3), and observed no small spines in the inner apical angles of antennomeres III – VI. Furthermore, it is evident from Ferreira’s cryptic description of Z. prociduum that she did not examine the type specimen. Based on the Z. bimaculatum material studied, it is evident that the beige maculae on the elytra have a high variability in size and shape. The medial maculae on the elytra, which never touch the suture, can form large irregular maculae, or be reduced to small irregular spots or be lacking completely. Likewise, the apical maculae are also variable in size and shape, or lacking. Occasionally, specimens have a homogeneous brown integument (without maculae) on the elytra (Fig. 4). From the studied material, it is evident that absence of medial and / or apical maculae on the elytra is not sex- or regionally specific. We have examined type specimens of Z. bimaculatum (Fabricius, 1781) and Z. prociduum Pascoe, 1864. Besides the absence of the apical maculae on the elytra (Z. prociduum), they show no morphological differences. Thus, we propose Z. prociduum as a new junior subjective synonym of Z. bimaculatum.	en	Bate, Riana, Bate, Michael D.

In Obrium, the antennomeres are without grooves, carinae, or apical expansions (Joly, 2010); and the genus lacks erect / sub-erect setae on the pronotum and / or elytra. These morphological characters, together with the habitus of the pronotum and elytra, indicate the species belongs to the genus Duffyoemida Martins, 1977, where we hereby transfer it. We examined the holotype (♂), paratype (♀) and a series of male and female non-type specimens (SANC, det. K Adlbauer, 1996) of Duffyoemida barkeri and compared the female specimens with the holotype (♀) of Obrium rudebecki. No morphological differences were found. Therefore, we propose that Duffyoemida barkeri Martins, 1977 is a junior synonym of Duffyoemida rudebecki (Tippmann, 1959). Host plant: Specimens and larvae of D. rudebecki were found associated with the September Bush, Polygala myrtifolia L., an evergreen shrub occurring naturally from the Bokkeveld Mountains in the Western Cape to KwaZulu-Natal. It commonly grows on coastal dunes, rocky slopes, in forests or scrub and open grassland (Manning & Goldblatt, 2012; Van der Walt, 2003).	en	Bate, Riana, Bate, Michael D.
