Yes it is very likely, but I saw the type of Hyllisia leucosuturata m. multialbovittata which is the insect pictured here but which I do not consider the morpha (mine is determined with the name of the morpha)!
On the other hand, the type of the typical form has been destroyed by the anthrene (Hunt collection) and the type of Parhippopsicon albosuturale Breuning is in the Transvaal museum I would have to ask Ruth Müller (?)
Anyway if there is a change to do it will Parhippopsicon leucosuturata (Hunt and Breuning) but not being able to see the type of leucosuturata it will be difficult...
I noted in my box that Hyllisia leucosuturata m. multiabovittata would be to transfer in another genus...
So for now I keep the name of anterior leucosuturata Hunt and Breuning, 1957...
Do you want me to scan what I have on both taxa? |

Morning Jerome,
Thank you for your comment. Do agree, these taxa do seem very similar!
We plan on visiting Ruth in the TVL Museum in a few weeks time. If you want, We can photograph the Parhippopsicon albosuturale type for you. |

Hello Riana
Yes it will be great if you could make a picture! Will I be abused by asking you 2 or other taxa if you need to take pictures?
