Abstract

The taxonomy of the genus Sarothroceras Mabille, 1889 currently containing only the type species S. banaka (Plötz, 1880) and its four junior synonyms is revised. Sarothroceras alluaudi Mabille, 1889, stat. rev. is re-established as a valid species based on external and genitalia morphology as well as barcode data, and S. sordidus Rothschild, 1896 syn. rev. is synonymised with it. Diagnostic characters to separate the two species are provided together with illustrations of adults as well as male and female genitalia.
