Cladoctonus amanicus Eggers 1920

Cladoctonus amanicus Eggers (Figs 13–16) Cladoctonus amanicus Eggers, 1920: 118 Type material. Neotype, female: Kenya, Nairobi, 18. Nov. 1955, JCM Gardner, ex Acacia xanthophloea [NHMW]. Diagnosis, female. Length 2.1 mm, 2.5 × as long as wide; frons impressed between eyes from vertex to epistoma, with two tufts of golden setae from vertex reaching epistoma; elytral interstriae slightly rugose, punctures on average half the size of those in striae, all declivital interstriae with sharp granules. Distribution: Kenya, Tanzania. Biology. Collected from Acacia (Fabaceae). Comments. The neotype designated by Schedl (1979) may not be the same species as the one described by Eggers (1920). The original description indicate high similarity to C. affinis as the frons should be round and shiny in the middle area. However, the name amanicus is fixed with Schedl’s neotype which now allows confident differentiation between the two taxa.
