Abstract: Oxyothespis longicollis Beier, 1931 Fig. 46a–c Oxyothespis longicollis Beier, 1931: 6–7. Type material Holotype (1 male) SOMALIA • ♂ (Fig. 46a–c); “// Type // Eing. Nr. 127.1928. // Forschungsreise / C. v. Erlanger / Nord-Ost-Afrika. // BritOst-Afrika / Umfudu a. Ganale / 16.– 25.6.1901. // Oxyothespis / longicollis / det. [crossed out] Beier / Type! ♂ // Mfudu 18/VI 01 ”; ZMH 841071. Type locality British East Africa, Munfuudhi at the Jubba River [Somalia]. Current status Valid species. Habitus Incomplete: abdominal apex is missing. Remarks The type locality information given by Ehrmann (2002) is not correct. On the original label Mfudu is named as locality. Comparing the named localities depicted in a historical blueprint showing the course of the Jubba River from Bardere to the place called Mfudu (Hannyngton & Shaw 1903) with current maps we come to the assumption that Mfudu might be a historical name for Munfuudhi in Somalia.
