Abstract: Catasigerpes erlangeri Beier, 1931 Fig. 17 Oxypiloidea (Oxypiloidea) lobata Schulthess-Schindler, 1898: 179. Catasigerpes erlangeri Beier, 1931: 9–10. Oxypiloidea (Oxypiloidea) lobata – Roy 2013: 284–287 (syn.). Type material Holotype (1 male) KENYA • ♂ (Fig. 17); “// Type // genitalia / R. Roy / 2073 // Forschungsreise / C. v.

Current status Synonym of Oxypiloidea (Oxypiloidea) lobata Schulthess-Schindler, 1898. Habitus Complete. Genitalia preparation is present. Remarks The type locality given by Ehrmann (2002) is not correct. The expedition report from the collector Erlanger (Erlanger 1904) clearly shows that his group was traveling to El-Uak [El-Wak, Kenya] after crossing the rivers Danale and Daua [Dawa] at the end of April 1901. From El-Uak they traveled westwards to Bardera [Bardere, Somalia]. Therefore, we assume that the type locality refers to Wante next to El-Wak in Kenya which is located next to the border with Somalia.
