Comments. – Following a study of a series of specimens, including the type specimens,we propose the synonymyof E. obliquealbovittata with E. fasciata . Téocchi (1993b) proposed the synonymy of E. obliqueflavovittata from RSA, Transvaal (MPU), KNP, Skukuza (TMSA) with E. fasciata with which we concur. The postulation that E. fasciata may just be a “morph” of E. strigata Fåhraeus, 1872 (Breuning1957a; Téocchi,1993b) is beyondthe scope of this paper,but may form part of a future publication.

Distribution. – Mozambique; RSA; Swaziland and Tanzania (Gahan,1904 [in Distant 1904-1906]; Hunt & Breuning 1957; Téocchi, 1993b; Téocchi et al. 2007).
