Description
| - A taxonomic revision of the Anthaxia (Haplanthaxia) melancholica and A. (H.) thunbergi speciesgroups) with the description of six new species: Anthaxia (Haplanthaxia) africandra sp. nov. (Democratic Republic of the Congo, Republic of South Africa), A. (H.) brunneipilis sp. nov. (Zambia), A. (H.) egeniformis sp. nov. (Benin), A. (H.) ruth sp. nov. (Namibia, Republic of South Africa, Tanzania), A. (H.) sphenoptera sp. nov. (Mozambique) and A. (H.) tanzanica sp. nov. (Tanzania). Lectotype designations are given for A. (H.) albovillosa Kerremans, 1913, A. (H.) dollmani Obenberger, 1931, A. (H.) katangae Obenberger, 1924, A. (H.) lukesi Obenberger, 1931, A. (H.) melancholica Gory, 1841, A. (H.) nerissa Obenberger, 1931, A. (H.) sjoestedti Kerremans, 1908 and A. (H.) thunbergi Gory & Laporte, 1839. New synomyms are proposed: Anthaxia (H.) egena Kerremans, 1913 = A. (H.) decimata Thery, 1947, syn. nov., = A. (H.) nerissa Obenberger, 1931, syn. nov., = A. (H.) rhodesiae Obenberger, 1924, syn. nov.; A. (H.) thunbergi Gory & Laporte, 1839 = A. (H.) davidi Obenberger, 1931, syn. nov., = A. (H.) expectanda Obenberger, 1922, syn. nov., = A. (H.) implexa Fahraeus, 1851, syn. nov., = A. (H.) pfl anzeri Obenberger, 1931, syn. nov., = A. (H.) recisa Thery, 1947, syn. nov., = A. (H.) uzeli Obenberger, 1931, syn. nov. Keys to the species of both species-groups are provided and all species are illustrated
