look at Eunidia kristenseni ssp sabiensis Breuning which is probably the same as subtergrisea or another species I have to look for ....

Thanks for the help Jérôme. Breuning 1981 description of Eunidia kristenseni ssp sabiensis is a little vague, Will get the HT.

Hello Riana ! Yes the typus is Pretoria but I had at the time made exchanges with Dr Endrödy Younga who was curator of the Transvaal Museum and he had sent me 1 paratype of the typical series which comes from South Rhodesia Sawmills . Considering the number of paratypes and where they come from (several countries) it is sure that it is a synonym of a known species and E subtergrisea seems to me to be very possible ? Will you tell me what you think?

Hi Jérôme, thanks for the data and the pic of type. Yes it also seems to me that E. kristenseni ssp sabiensis Breuning is just a synonym.
