Remarks

Gerstäcker (1873) did not describe the gonopods, and it remains uncertain whether the specimens recorded as Odontopyge suavis by Attems (1896) are conspecific with Gerstäcker’s specimens from Zanzibar. Mhonda in the Nguru Mts is type locality of P. kraepelini (see above), and it appears suspicious that two so similar Prionopetalum species should coexist at Mhonda.
