Abstract

The Afrotropical species of the genus Trichodes Herbst, 1792, are revised. Descriptions and a key to the eight valid species are provided. T. pretiosus Gorham, 1883, is placed in synonym with T. lepidus (Walker, 1871); T. unimaculatus Pic, 1938, is synonymized with T. penicillatus Schenkling, 1909. Lectotypes are designated for T. aulicus Klug, 1842, and T. lepidus (Walker, 1871).
