[Katreus holocausta (Mabille)]
Erionota holocausta Mabille, 1891: 111 (Cameroon).
— Ortholexis melichroptera Karsch. 1895: 320 (Cameroon).
Evans (1937: 17) records this species from Sierra Leone, Nigeria, and Cameroon, a distribution which suggests it may be found in Liberia, though it has not been reported from there. K. holocausta is apparently extremely rare; it is unrepresented in the collection of Carnegie Museum.
