Eunidia albopicta Breuning, 1939: 215 View in CoL (Breuning 1957a: 111; 1960: 125). Eunidia olivacea Breuning, 1954: 13 View in CoL (Breuning 1957a: 112; 1960: 125; Téocchi, 1993b: 305, fig. 10; Adlbauer, 2000: 978; Téocchi et al., 2010b:10, fig. 26; Adlbauer & Beck, 2015: 179, fig. 572) syn. nov.

Comments. – Study of the syntypes of E. albopicta from D.O.Afrika [ Tanzania] (NHRS) ( Fig. 14 a&b); and E. olivacea from Dagahbur, Ethiopia,Ogaden Province, and Somali Region (NHMUK), leaves no doubt about their synonymy. Téocchi (1993b) proposed the synonymy of E. olivacea with E. trialbosignata from Ethiopia, Ogaden Province, Somali Region, and Warder (NHMUK), with which we agree.

Two specimens from this taxon were collected in LIM, RSA, 1♂, Soutpansberg , Wylliespoort, 11.iii.1995, leg. N.J. Duke ( TMSA) ; 1♂, Lajuma Nature Reserve , 23°02’S, 29°26’E, 12.xii.2017, leg. Ruth Müller ( TMSA) GoogleMaps .
