Abstract
Pseudopalpares parvopunctatus sp. n. from Botswana and Namibia is described and compared to Pseudopalpares sparsus (McLachlan, 1867), Pseudopalpares sobrinus (Navás, 1912) (comb. n.), and Pseudopalpares nyicanus (Kolbe, 1897) (comb. n.) which are moved to a new combination. The lectotype of Pseudopalpares sparsus (McLachlan, 1867) is designated from male syntype of Palpares sparsus McLachlan, 1867 (present designation). The female syntype of Palpares sparsus McLachlan, 1867 is conspecific with Pseudopalpares sobrinus (Navás, 1912). The type specimen of Palpares aemulus Péringuey, 1911 is re-examined and the synonym status of Pseudopalpares nyicanus (Kolbe, 1897) is confirmed. A key for species is also given.
