Chloromiopteryx plurilobata (Mello-Leitão, 1937) View in CoL , n. comb. Musoniola plurilobata Mello-Leitão, 1937

Chloromiopteryx View in CoL now includes four species: C. mirim , C. modesta , C. plurilobata and C. thalassina . Members of Chloromiopteryx View in CoL seem to be endemic to Atlantic Forest formations of southern Brazil, often occurring at high elevation. Label data indicate that both males and females are found on vegetation.

We also take the opportunity to here designate the best-preserved specimen of C. thalassina as lectotype (unfortunately both syntypes lack the abdomen). The proposed lectotype bears the following four labels: [1] red label “ Type!”; [2] small white label “617”; [3] green label “St. Cathar. Eschsch.”; [4] green label “ thalassina Burm. * (♂)”.
