Dasiosoma testaceum Britton, 1937 Habitus: Fig. 53 View Figures 49–54

Dasiosoma testaceum Britton 1937: 234 (original: Dasiosoma ; type locality: N. W. Rhodesia; syntypes deposited in NHML); Basilewsky 1949: 222 ( Dasiosoma ).

Type examined.

Syntypes of Dasiosoma testaceum Britton: 1 male (NHML), " Holo- Type" [round label with red circle]; "N. W. Rhodesia: / Lukanga. / l.v.1915. / H. C. Dollman"; "H. C. Dollman / Coll. 1919-79"; " Dasiosoma / testacea g. sp. n. / Holotype / E. B. Britton. / det. 28.vii.193 7 "[Fig. 53]. 25 ex. (NHML), the same collection data but labeled as paratype.

Notes on types.

The original description mentioned a total of 30 specimens of Dasiosoma testaceum , but no holotype was originally fixed. So, all specimens we found in NHML are syntypes, although the first one was labeled as “holotype” by Britton himself.
