Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: A new genus Hollandus is described to receive Pardaleodes xanthopeplus, which differs too much from the other members of that genus in many significant respects. A new subspecies from the Central African Republic is described as ssp. botambi. Labels of the holotype in the Carnegie Museum, Philadelphia show that the true type location is “Benito, Equatorial Guinea” and not “Gabon, Valley of the Ogové”. A map of the known distribution of the two subspecies is presented.
