Monolepta melanogaster (Wiedemann, 1823) Fig. 16 Galleruca melanogaster Wiedemann, 1823: 77 (original description) (not examined). Cryptocephalus capensis Thunberg, 1827: 15 (original description). Syn. nov. Type localities Galleruca melanogaster: “Prom. bon. sp.”. Cryptocephalus capensis: “Cap” [= from the publication title]. Type material examined SOUTH AFRICA • 1 ♂, syntype of Cryptocephalus capensis; “Uppsala Univ. Zool. Mus. / Thunbergsaml. nr. 9584 / Cryptocephalus capensis / Mus. Thunb. TYP [r, p] // capensis. / 21 / Mus. Thunb. [box label, w, h]”; UUZM • 1 ♀, syntype of Cryptocephalus capensis; “Uppsala Univ. Zool. Mus. / Thunbergsaml. nr. 14734 / Cryptocephalus capensis / Cap. TYP [r, p] // capensis. / 86 x [w, h]”; UUZM. Comments Thunberg’s collection consists of two syntypes (male and female) of Cryptocephalus capensis. Without any doubt Cryptocephalus capensis is conspecific with Monolepta melanogaster and the new synonymy is proposed. Monolepta melanogaster was recently redescribed (Wagner 2005).
