Eurycorypha aequatorialis Krauss, 1890 ?

KrauSS, 1890. ZoologiSche Jahrbücher. Abt. SySt. Geogr. und Biol. der Tiere, 5 (4): 663.

Material examined. Democratic Republic of Congo, Ngowa 16.XI.1938, R.P.J. Mertens (1♂) ; Democratic Republic of Congo, Mission De Saeger 11.I.1950 (1♂) ( RBINS) .

Remarks. The last tergite of this taxon is similar to the specimen described by Giglio-Tos (1907) as the male of E. aequatorialis Krauss, 1890 . Concerning the latter and the difficulty in the genus Eurycorypha to match male and female of the same species, it seems inappropriate that the male of E. aequatoralis was described from Madimba ( Democratic Republic of Congo), while the female holotype came from Rolas Is. ( Sao Tomé, Equatorial Guinea). Thus, it is yet uncertain that the male described by Giglio-Tos (1907) does actually belong to E. aequatorialis or to as yet undescribed species.
