Leptusa (Micropisalia) kuehnelti SCHEERPELTZ, 1963: 441 ff.

Meotica kuhnelti [sic] (SCHEERPELTZ, 1963): PACE (1980).

Meotica kuehnelti (SCHEERPELTZ, 1963): SMETANA (2004b).

Meotica kuehnelti (SCHEERPELTZ, 1963): SCHÜLKE & SMETANA (2015).

Type material examined: Holotype ♀: " ♀ / Ziria-Massiv, 2100 m, 21.IV.60, Felsspaltenmulm / Peloponnes, Griechenland, W. Kühnelt / Ziria, 2100 m, 21.IV.60 / ex coll. Scheerpeltz / Typus Leptusa (Micropisalia) Kühnelti O. Scheerpeltz / Meotica nec Leptusa, det. R. Pace 1979, tarsi 5-5-5 / Tectusa killinica nom. n., det. V. Assing 2017" (NHMW).

Comment: The original description of Leptusa kuehnelti is based on a unique "♂ (Typus)" collected "in Felsspaltenmulm in 2100 m Höhe am 21.4.1960 " in the Killini range, northeastern Pelopónnisos (SCHEERPELTZ 1963). PACE (1980) subsequently examined the specimen, noticed it was a female, and transferred the species to the genus Meotica . The present revision of the holotype, however, revealed that the species belongs to Tectusa BERNHAUER, 1899.

Tectusa kuehnelti (SCHEERPELTZ, 1963) is preoccupied by T. kuehnelti (SCHEERPELTZ, 1962), a species described from the same mountain range "in etwa 1600 m Höhe in einem Walde von Abies cephalonica " (SCHEERPELTZ 1962) and distinguished by completely different coloration alone ( T. kuehnelti (SCHEERPELTZ, 1962): forebody and abdominal apex pale reddish-brown; T. kuehnelti (SCHEERPELTZ, 1963): forebody blackish-brown, abdomen uniformly blackish). Therefore, the junior secondary homonym T. kuehnelti (SCHEERPELTZ, 1963) is replaced with the nomen novum Tectusa killinica .
