Endeochetus Kolbe, 1898

Notes. There are only five described species of Endeochetus in mainland Africa, since MARSHALL (1951) moved some taxa described as Endeochetus by HUSTACHE (1932, 1937), namely E. conversus Hustache, 1932 , E. griseolus Hustache, 1937 and E. minutus Hustache, 1937 , to Diaphna Pascoe, 1870 on the base of their deep prosternal channel. PERRIN (2000), while describing the Socotran E. canui Perrin, 2000 , still considered D. minuta ( Hustache, 1937) as an Endeochetus , probably unaware of the paper by MARSHALL (1951). This genus is well represented in Socotra, given that ten new species are described in this paper, which brings the number of named Endeochetus living in the island to eleven, higher than that of those occurring outside this archipelago.
