Elaea infumata Beier 1931

Elaea infumata Beier, 1931 Fig. 16a–c Elaea infumata Beier, 1931: 2. Type material Holotype (1 male) KENYA • ♂ (Fig. 16a–c); “// Type // Forschungsreise / C. v. Erlanger / Nord-Ost-Afrika. // Brit. Ost-Afrika / Wante / 17.5.1901. // Eing. Nr. 127.1928. // Elaea ♂ / infumata Beier / det. Beier / Type! ♂ ”; ZMH 841072. Type locality Wante, British East Africa [Kenya]. Current status Valid species. Habitus Incomplete: not one leg of the last pair is completely preserved. 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.
