Goniochilus rotundiceps Moser, 1905

Goniochilus rotundiceps Moser, 1905: 214 .

One syntype is deposited in NMPC (ex coll. Nickerl):

SYNTYPE (unsexed specimen): ‘Manow / DO Afr. [p] // TYPUS [p, red label, black margin] // Goniochilus / rotundiceps Mos. [hw] / J. Moser determ. 1908 [p] // Coll. Nickerl / Mus. Pragense [p] // rotundiceps / Moser typi, O. Afr. [hw, pink label]’.

Current status. Oplostomus rotundiceps ( Moser, 1905) , see KRIKKEN (1984).

Remark. In our opinion, the date ‘1908’ on the identification label refers to the year during which the specimen was incorporated into Nickerl’s collection. Moser never used preprinted identification labels in his own collection, but often added them to identified specimens deposited in foreign museums.
