Anchon ximenes Capener

Anchon ximenes Capener, 1953b: 125 , Figs. 29, 30, 31, 32, 33 [line drawings: frontal, dorsal, and lateral view of adults; frontal and lateral view 5th instar nymph]; Metcalf and Wade, 1965a: 447; McKamey, 1998a: 32. Original repository: see remarks.

Female paratype from SOUTH AFRICA: North West: Rustenburg: “RUSTENBURG \ 4- 10. XII. [19] 50 \ A. L. Capener”, “HOST PLANT \ Ximenia \ caffra”, “ Anchon \ ximenes \ CAPENER”, “[light pink label] PARATYPE \ FEMALE”. Double-mounted on minuten, anal margin of left forewing slightly broken at the apex. Paratype male, same locality as previous, “RUSTENBURG \ Nov. 1949 \ A. L. Capener”, “HOST PLANT \ Ximenia \ caffra”, “ Anchon \ ximenes \ CAPENER”, “ PARATYPE \ MALE”. Double-mounted on minuten, left mesothoracic leg missing, metathoracic leg lacking tarsomeres.

Remarks. Capener (1953b) states that the holotype and one female paratype (‘allotype’) were deposited at his personal collection, and remaining paratypes (35 females, 4 males, and 7 nymphs) were at the British Museum, Transvaal Museum, South African Museum, and his personal collection (with no specification to number of paratypes per collection or institution). We assume that the paratypes from Capener’s collection were subsequently donated to MZSP.
