Description
Phoberus nyassicus (Haaf) new status
(Fig. 5A –D)
Trox nigrociliatus nyassicus Haaf, 1953: 330 Trox (Trox) nigrociliatus nyassicus: Scholtz 1980: 93; Scholtz 1982: 5 Trox (Phoberus) nigrociliatus nyassicus: Scholtz 1986: 361; Zidek 2013: 13 Phoberus nigrociliatus nyassicus: Strümpher et al. 2016: 78
Diagnosis. Phoberus nyassicus is very similar to P. nyikanus in appearance, but can be distinguished from the latter by distinct, evenly spaced tubercles on the elytra; P. nyikanus has the tubercles partially fused, forming semicontinuous ridges.
