Habitat of Achaenops obscurellus, Cape Peninsula, East coast South of Simon's Town at Miller's Point. A costal shrub dominated by Erica spp and Felicia spp. among some indigenous Protect and alien Pimis tree, South Africa. Abdomen. Venter dark brown, sternites and pygidium with coarse punctures and short white setae, lateral lobe at base of abdomen rounded; elytra covering 50% of pygidium; aedeagus simple (Fig. 20), with ventral side regularly vaulted (Fig. 21), length of aedeagus mm, tergalapodem Y-shaped (Fig. 22). Description of female: Habitus. Size [mm]: length , width of elytra at hu- meri , length of pronotum , width Head. As in male, but eyes more distant, ratio of minimum distance between upper lobes to eye length is : Abdomen. Kotpresse: dorsal sclerites triangular, not at- tached to the sclerotization of the lateral fold, dorsal fold slightly sclerotized (Fig. 23), posterior of the ven- tral band a trapeziform, sclerotized area, and another sclerotized area close to the middle of anterior margin of ventral band (Fig. 24); spermatheca (Fig. 25), sper- mathecal ductus coiled up and base extended; an egg found during dissection was longitudinal oval (Fig. 26). Variability. No significant variability was detected. Distribution and biology. Known from two localities on the Cape Peninsula (Fig. 13). Figure 27 shows the habitat on Miller Point. Note. The neotype of A. obscurellus is in accordance with the original description by SUFFRIAN (1857). The description of A. obscurellus was based on a single fe- male specimen located in the collection of the Natural History Museum Hamburg, Germany, but it is presumed destroyed (see above under A. dorsalis). Moreover, the collections in Halle/Saale, Berlin (Germany) and Stock- holm (Sweden), which harbour type
