Ochetostethomorpha nollothensis Schumacher 1913
(Figs. 2 a, 5b, 6b, 7b)
Type material examined. Three paralectotypes (two males, one female): South Africa, Klein-Namaraland, Porth Nolloth; IV. 1905, L. Schulze (housed in the Museum für Naturkunde, Berlin, Germany).
Distribution. Republic of South Africa.
Notes on the specimens collected in Chad. Three females representing the genus Ochetostethomorpha, collected during the French Chari-Lac Tchad 1902-1904 expedition and housed at the Muséum national d'Histoire naturelle in Paris, were identified by Lis (1996) as O. nollothensis. We had a chance to verify whether they actually represent the type species of the genus; yet, they appeared to be more similar to O. secunda than to O. nollothensis (Fig. 2 c). However, because males are required for the proper species identification in this genus, and these females also might represent the other unknown species, we decided not to include the females from Chad into the typeseries of the newly described species.
