Smeringopus zonatus Strand, 1906

Smeringopus zonatus Strand 1906a: 671 . Strand 1908: 95–97, pl. 2, fig. 3.

Notes. Strand’s (1906a, 1908) descriptions were based on 2♀ 1juv. syntypes from Ethiopia, Somali Region, “Fluss Daua” [=Webi Daua or Dawa, ~ 4°22’N, 41°53’E], and 1♀ from Webi Mane [~ 5°06’N, 42°05’E], all collected by C.F. von Erlanger. The specimens are probably lost and the descriptions do not offer sufficient detail to separate this species from similar congeners, especially from S. turkana . Further collecting in southeastern Ethiopia is necessary to decide if S. turkana is a synonym of S. zonatus or not.
