Current status

Synonym of Oxypiloidea (Oxypiloidea) lobata Schulthess-Schindler, 1898 .

Remarks

The type locality given by Ehrmann (2002) is not correct. The expedition report from the collector Erlanger ( Erlanger 1904) clearly shows that his group was traveling to El-Uak [El-Wak, Kenya] after crossing the rivers Danale and Daua [Dawa] at the end of April 1901. From El-Uak they traveled westwards to Bardera [Bardere, Somalia]. Therefore, we assume that the type locality refers to Wante next to El-Wak in Kenya which is located next to the border with Somalia.
