Anthaxia (Cratomerus) congolana Kerremans, 1909 View in CoL

Anthaxia congolana Kerremans, 1909: 25 View in CoL , t. 3, f. 36.

Anthaxia kamanyabensis Obenberger, 1931: 179 View in CoL ; Bílý 1996: 24 (synonymy). Anthaxia (Cratomerus) electra Cobos, 1967: 394 View in CoL –396, syn. n.

Anthaxia electra View in CoL was described from two females labeled: ”Abachaus, Otjiwarongo Distr., S. W. Africa, G. Hobolm coll., 1953” (holotype deposited in ZSMC). Having studied both holotype and paratype (MNCN) and the Kerremans´ holotype (by monotypy) (MRAC), I find A. electra View in CoL to be conspecific with A. congolana View in CoL and a new junior subjective synonym.

Other material studied: SOUTH AFRICA: Kuruman, 19.iii. ?? (1 ex. in NMPC); Cape prov., Olifantshoek, 18.iii.1987 (2 ex. in ZMHB); NAMIBIA: Abachaus, Otjiwarongo distr., 14.iii.1953, G. Hobohm leg.
