Species of unknown identity
editThe identity of the following species described by Thunberg in Memoires de l'Academie Imperiale des sciences de St. Petersburg, Tome IV in 1818 is unclear. According to Schein, it is likely that these names refer to Peritrichia-species described later under a different name. However, Thunberg's descriptions are too brief and ambiguous. These species of unknown identity, all described from 'Cape' in South Africa, are[3]:
- Peritrichia capucina (Thunberg, 1818) (described as Trichius capucinus)
- Peritrichia monacha (Thunberg, 1818) (described as Trichius monachus)
- Peritrichia ovina (Thunberg, 1818) (described as Trichius ovinus)
- Peritrichia ursula (Thunberg, 1818) (described as Trichius ursula)
