9.1. Gollneria quadrituberculatum ( Poppius, 1912) View in CoL

( Figure 28 View FIGURES 28 – 35 )

Megacoelum quadrituberculatum Poppius, 1912: 38 View in CoL (as new species); Carvalho 1959: 162 (catalog). Adelphocoris callosus Lindberg, 1958: 88 View in CoL –90 (as new species) (the synonymy by Linnavuori 1975: 24; lapsus in synonymy in Schuh 1995: 687, corrected in Kerzhner & Schuh 2001: 291). Megacoelum quadrituberculatum: Linnavuori 1975: 24 –25 (diagnosis). Megacoelum quadrituberculatum nomadicum Linnavuori, 1975: 25 (as new subspecies) (treated as junior synonym of G. quadrituberculatum by Schuh 2002–2013). Gollneria quadrituberculatum Carvalho 1983: 383 View in CoL (new combination, diagnosis); Schuh 1995: 772 (catalog); Schuh 2002–2013 (online catalog).

Material examined. Type specimens: Holotype Ƌ by monotypy (of Megacoelum quadrituberculatum Poppius, 1912 ): KENYA (as “British Ost-Afrika”): Kibwezi, xii.1907, Scheffler leg. (FC n° 27) ( ZMHU). Holotype ♀ (?) by monotypy (of Megacoelum quadrituberculatum nomadicum Linnavuori, 1975 ): SOUTH SUDAN: Eastern Equatoria: Kapoeta, 26–27.iii.1963, leg. Linnavuori R. (FC n° 5299) ( AMNH).

Additional material: 1Ƌ: CAMEROON: North of Goum, 40 km south of Lac Chad, 11.viii.1963, J. Péricart leg. ( MNHN) [with Linnavuori’s manuscript identification label, probably the specimen from Cameroon cited by Linnavuori 1975: 24].
