Charops ater Szépligeti, 1908

Remarks – This Afrotropical species, described from Tanzania and later found also in Kenya ( SZÉPLIGETI 1908, SEYRIG 1935), is erroneously reported also from Indonesia in YU and HORSTMANN (1997) and YU et al. (2012); the reason of the false Oriental distribution record is confusion with an Indonesian species with secondary homonym name: Charops ater Szépligeti, 1910 , described as Agrypon atrum Szépligeti, 1910 , later moved into combination with Charops ( SZÉPLIGETI 1910, TOWNES et al. 1961). Due to homonymy, the Indonesian species originally described as Agrypon atrum Szépligeti, 1910 received the replacement name Charops cavendishae Kittel, 2016 , while Charops ater Szépligeti, 1908 is a valid name for the Afrotropical species ( KITTEL 2016).
