description: 1. Aloe framesii Bolus (1933: 140)
Homotypic synonym:— Aloe microstigma subsp. framesii (L.Bolus) Glen & Hardy (2000: 107). Lectotype (designated here):— SOUTH AFRICA. Northern Cape: Coastal belt north of Port Nolloth, August 1929, fl. hort. Frames July–August 1930, P. Ross Frames BOL19186 (lectotype BOL BOL140202! [https://plants.jstor.org/stable/viewer/10.5555/al.ap.specimen.bol140202]).
Epitype (designated here):— SOUTH AFRICA. Northern Cape: Coastal belt north of Port Nolloth, fl. hort Frames, no date, P. Ross Frames BOL19186 (epitype BOL BOL140201! [https://plants.jstor.org/stable/viewer/10.5555/al.ap.specimen.bol140201]).
Note regarding type:— There are two specimens at Herb. BOL labelled ‘ fld. hort. Frames BOL19186 ’ (BOL140201 and BOL140202). Both sheets are annotated with a red ‘ Type’ label. Sheet BOL140201 consists of an inflorescence, two leaves, and an envelope with pressed perianth segments and dissected flowers. The specimen labels of this sheet does not contain a date or collector, but merely states ‘ Coastal belt north of Port Nolloth, fld. hort. Frames’, followed by ‘ June 29’ that is struck through. Sheet BOL140202 consists of a single inflorescence, and envelopes containing mounted floral bracts and perianth segments. The label of this sheet indicates that it was collected by P. Ross Frames in August 1929 and flowered in his garden in July–August 1930 (initially written as ‘1929’, but struck through with ‘1930’ written above it) when the specimen was evidently made. A hand-written note is attached to the sheet, containing descriptive information that was based on a plant collected at the type locality by M. Schlechter and that flowered in the Kennilworth, Cape Town, garden of Mr Frames in August 1933 (a specimen collected in 1932 by Schlechter from Port Nolloth, ‘ex hort. Frames, Aug. 1933 ’, is present in Herb. BOL). In the protologue Bolus (1933: 140) states that the description of A. framesii is based on a plant collected in Namaqualand in August 1929 and that flowered in the garden of Mr Frames in June 1930. The sheet BOL140202 most closely matches the information provided in the protologue and is here designated as lectotype. Since the lectotype only consists of an inflorescence, sheet BOL140201 (also containing leaves) is here designated as epitype to compliment the lecotype.

description: 3. Aloe khamiesensis Pillans (1934: 25)
Lectotype (designated here):— SOUTH AFRICA, Northern Cape: Namaqualand, Kamieskroon, ex hort. June 1933, N. S. Pillans 6665 (lectotype BOL BOL140205! [https://plants.jstor.org/stable/viewer/10.5555/al.ap.specimen.bol140205]; isolectotype NBG NBG0067768 -0!).
Note regarding type:— There are three sheets of N.S. Pillans 6665 at Herb. BOL (BOL140203, BOL140204, and BOL140205). All three carry a ‘Type’ label. The date on BOL140203 and BOL140204 is June 1932, and the name on the specimen labels is ‘ Aloe sp. nov. ’. These two sheets are indicated in pencil as ‘Sheet I’ and ‘Sheet II’ respectively, and can thus be seen as part of a single collecting event. BOL140203 [https://plants.jstor.org/stable/viewer/10.5555/ al.ap.specimen.bol140203] consists of three racemes and a leaf, while BOL140204 [https://plants.jstor.org/stable/ viewer/10.5555/al.ap.specimen.bol140204] consists of a leaf and the lower portion of the inflorescence (peduncle and base of first branches), and a hand written note (presumably by Pillans) with descriptive information, as well as envelopes containing a coloured drawing of a flower and bract, loose plant material, and a mounted dissected flower and bracts. The leaf material on these two sheets represents the abaxial and adaxial surface of the same leaf, thus confirming that they represent two sheets of a single collection. The date on BOL140205 is June 1933, there is no sheet number on this specimen, and the species name on the original label is ‘ Aloe khamiesensis, Pillans’. This sheet consists of the separated abaxial and adaxial surfaces of a leaf, and a single raceme. The protologue of A. khamiesensis (Pillans 1934: 25) states that Pillans 6665 was collected at Khamieskroon in August 1929, and that it flowered in May 1933 (‘Maio– Sept 1933 ’ in the diagnosis). Sheet BOL140205 is here chosen as lectotype as the information on the label most closely matches that provided in the protologue. A duplicate of this specimen is housed at Herb. NBG.

Craspedophorus leprieuri

description: Craspedophorus leprieuri species group (nov.)
(= see Chaudoir 1879: 97; Basilewsky 1987: 188)
Sensu Chaudoir (1879: 97), this group contains only one species, C. leprieuri (Laporte de Castelnau, 1835). I accepted Bates', Burgeon's and Basilewsky's conclusions and enlarged this group according to Chaudoir's criteria to include the following species: C. cameronus Bates, 1886, C. clasispilus (Alluaud 1915), C. guineensis Basilewsky, 1987, C. merus Péringuey, 1904 and C. pseudofestivus Burgeon, 1930. C. clasispilus and C. guineensis are demoted to subspecies of C. leprieuri, and it is described C. leprieuri zambianus. C. pseudofestivus is demoted to subspecies of C. merus, and it is described C. merus lundanus. Basilewsky’s synonymization of C. peringueyi Csiki, 1919 (nom. nov. for C. laticollis Péringuey, 1904) is not thought to be correct and it is here proposed C. leprieuri peringueyi as valid subspecies. The group is here broadened of C. pretiosus Chaudoir, 1837, in agreement with the original Chaudoir‘s system of species groups with the genus Epicosmus Chaudoir, 1846. Presently the group contains four species, two of them monotypical, one with five subspecies, and one with three subspecies.
Characters. Smaller and medium-sized species (13–18 mm). Head short, not or indistinctly constricted behind eyes. Antennae slender. Labial palps with terminal article very dilated, kidney-shaped. Metepisterna longer than wide (Fig. 23 d, e), trapeziform, but somewhat shorter than in C. reflexus group (Häckel 2016). Ventrites anteriorly not crenulated (Fig. 23c). Elytral colouration with at least one but most commonly two isolated maculae on each elytron, one in basal half and second in apical half of elytral midlength.
Distribution remarks. The species of this group inhabit virtually the same region as those of the C. reflexus group, i.e., tropical west Africa from Senegal through high savannas of the Gulf of Guinea to the forests of central Africa, and southwards into South Africa. Some of them reach the east side of the Rift, e.g., Tanzania and Zimbabwe (see maps of Figs. 78, 79).

Burgeon [printed in black on white label]// pretiosus Chd. [handwritten in black] / P. Basilewsky det., 19 [printed in black on white label] (MRAC). Note. The species is based on a specimen from the Cape Province of South Africa. From the description of Chaudoir (1837: 49): “Black, thorax hexagonal, short, coarsely punctate; elytra nearly parallel-sided and striate, each elytron with two maculae, larger close to base and smaller subapical, nearly transverse” [from Latin, length we measured 17. 8mm]. “As large as [Craspedophorus] nobilis Dej., but reminds me more of description and illustration of Mr. Klug‘s P. festivus in his work on the insects of Madagascar. It differs [C. pretiosus from C. festivus] only in more pronounced indentation of the pronotum and pronotal margins anteriorly forming an oblique angle, elytra punctate and setose, with striae punctate and serrate, punctures of intervals aligned in longitudinal rows, and anteriorly and posteriorly with two maculae which seem smaller and more rounded. The species is reported (by Mr. Drége) from the Cape of Good Hope and belongs to [Craspedophorus] nobilis Klug” [from French]. In the monograph Chaudoir (1879: 120) supplemented the description by: “the first specimen I described came from the interior of the Cape Colony; since then I have obtained specimens also from Natal” [from French].
Distribution. South Africa: Cape, KwaZulu-Natal Provinces.

Head broadly rounded anteriorly; length 2.0, width across eyes 2.7. Length of antennal segments 1-4 (segment 5 missing from types): 0.5; 0.4-0.5; 0.5-0.6; 1.0. Rostrum pale at intersegmental sutures, reaching 2nd visible abdominal sternite.
Pronotum 2.5-2.7 long at meson, 5.3 wide across humeri. Anterolateral margins distinctly convex, flattened to finely carinate. Coxae, trochanters, and tarsi brown to dark brown, remainder of legs uniformly black. Propleura with thin, pale band on lateral margins.
Scutellum 4.9-5.2 long at meson, 4.8-4.9 broad at widest point.
Venter of genital cup as in P. confusus; posterior margin with shallow, mesial emargination in dorsal and caudal views (Fig. 85 and 86). Impression in floor of genital cup angled toward posterior margin (Fig. 85). Parameres hookshaped, head elongate, with small tooth at apex; shank relatively long, thin (Fig. 87). Conjunctival diverticula as in P. bicolor.
Type Material. HOLOTYPE: 3, labeled: (a) Huancabamba. N. Peru. 3000 m. H. Rolle, Berlin, S. W. II. (b) H. Lehmann rev. (c) Polytes fenestra Breddin (USNM). PARATYPE: 3, labeled: (a) same as holotype. (b) Coll. Breddin. (c) H. Lehmann rev. (d) Paralectotypus. (e) des. H. Gaedike, 1968. (f) DEI Eberswalde (DEI).
The paratype is a paralectotype, as designated by Gaedike (1971), of P. fenestra.
Distribution. Northern Peru, known only from the type series.
Comment. Polytes bullocki and P. bicolor are very similar and may be conspecific. However, the differences in the shape of the parameres and dorsal coloration appeared to be adequate to separate the two at this time. Both species are closely related to P. lattini, differing from the latter species in coloration and in the more elongate head of the parameres. This species is named for R. C. Bullock in recognition of his contributions to citrus entomology in Florida.

description: Epilepsy is associated with a range of cognitive and psychological comorbidities. In order to better understand the causes and course of these issues, this thesis explored neuropsychological function in individuals with new-onset epilepsy, using a telehealth screening approach. Cognitive and psychological problems were found at disease onset, before the effects of recurrent seizures, antiseizure medication and psychosocial limitations have accumulated. Learning and memory performances were particularly poorer than that of healthy controls and patients with other seizure-like conditions. This research emphasises the need and utility of neuropsychological screening early in epilepsy care.

Polytes leopardinus Distant 1911: 243-244.
Description. Dorsum black to dark brownish black except following yellow to red structures: 4 broad vittae on pronotum; thin, mesial vitta usually also present (may be vague); 5 vittae on scutellum, lateral pair extending posterolaterally from anterior margin to lateral margin of scutellum; 2nd pair parallel to median vitta, extending about % distance from posterior to anterior scutellar margins; mesial vitta extending length of scutellum. Coria and anterior corners of scutellum also usually with irregular red to yellow maculations. Dorsal punctation dense, concolorous or dark brown to black in colored vittae. Venter dark brown to black; large yellow to red macule present on posterior margin of last abdominal sternite at meson; thin, pale line usually present along lateral margins of propleura and abdominal sternites. Length 8.9-9.8.
Head broadly rounded anteriorly, short (Fig. 95); length 1.9-2.4, width across eyes 2.8-3.0. Length of antennal segments 1-5:0.6; 0.5-0.6; 0.6-0.7; 0.9- 1.2; 1.2-1.3. Rostrum reaching or slightly surpassing anterior margin of 2nd visible abdominal sternite, brown basally, dark brown distally.
Pronotum 2.6-2.9 long at meson, 5.4-6.0 wide across humeri. Anterolateral margins distinctly convex, flattened. Coxae and tarsi brown, remain-der of legs dark brown to black.
Scutellum 5.6-6.2 long at meson, 4.8-5.7 broad at widest point.
Parameres hookshaped, head elongate with small tooth at apex and distinctly spiculate along lateral margin (Fig. 96). Remainder of male genitalia as in P. bicolor except sclerotized apices of 3rd conjunctival diverticula slightly more elongate in P. leopardinus (Fig. 97).
Mesial margins of 1st gonocoxae relatively straight, distinctly impressed submarginally. Mesial margins of 9th paratergites rounded, distinctly impressed submarginally (Fig. 98).
Type Material. Distant's type series consists of two syntypes in the BMNH. The following are designated: LECTOTYPE: 6, labeled: (a) Type, (b) Peru, (c) Distant Coll., 1911-383. (d) Polytes, leopardinus, type Dist. PARALECTOTYPE: 3, labeled: (a) Para-, type, (b) Peru, (c) Distant Coll., 1911 -383. (d) Polytes, leopardinus, Dist. (e) Polytes leopardinus.
Distribution. Peru.
Comments. Although appearing similar to P. quechuus, P. leopardinus is more closely related to P. bullocki. The striped appearance coupled with a lack of impunctate vittae on the pronotum will allow recognition of this species.

Description. Dorsum red brown to black with numerous stramineous to red markings. Dorsal punctation moderately dense, concolorous to dark brown in colored macules. Venter dark brown to black, posterior margin of last abdominal sternite with pale yellow to orange border. Length 7.9-8.7.
Head narrowly rounded anteriorly (Fig. 99); length 1.9-2.1; width across eyes 2.6-2.8. Length of antennal segments 1-5: 0.6; 0.5; 0.6; 1.1-1.2; 1.3-1.4. Rostrum reaching onto 2nd visible abdominal sternite; basal 2 segments light brown, remaining segments darker.
Pronotum with 2 large, oblong, orange to red macules, 1 just posterad of each cicatrice. Cicatrices, thin mesial vitta, and anterolateral margins pale. Length of pronotum at meson 2.3-2.9, width across humeri 4.9-5.7. Anterolateral margins slightly convex, almost straight, with thin, marginal carina. Each corium with numerous irregular, pale, yellow to red maculations, most numerous along lateral margins. Coxae, trochanters, and tarsi light brown, remainder of legs dark brown. Propleura with distinct, pale band along lateral margins.
Scutellum with 4 elongate orange to red macules; 2 on anterior half originating near meson on either side and directed posterolaterally; 2 on posterior half almost longitudinal; thin vitta present between posterior 2 macules. Length of scutellum at meson 4.5-5.4; width at widest point 4.4-5.1.
Posterior margin of genital cup concave mesially, convex laterally. Impression in floor of genital cup relatively small; fine ridge present in floor near lateral margin (Fig. 100). Parameres hookshaped, shank thin, relatively long; head relatively broad (Fig. 101). First conjunctival diverticula thin, elongate. Second conjunctival diverticula with large membraneous lobe, sclerotized apices elongate, acute apically, bases distinct. Sclerotized apices of 3rd conjunctival diverticula large, lacking distinct bases, curved and acute apically (Fig. 102 and 103).
Type Material. The holotype, a male in the BMNH, was examined.
Distribution. Ecuador.
Comment. The large lobe on the second conjunctival diverticula is unusual for this genus. Similar but smaller lobes in the same position were seen in P. fenestra, P. similis, P. confusus, and P. quechuus. Other species of the P. fenestra group also may have small lobes, although this was not determined because genitalia could not be fully expanded in most of these species. In addition to the type, two specimens were located in DEI. These specimens bear labels indicating that they were examined by Lehmann (1922) and are apparently the specimens illustrated in his Fig. 2c.
