Anamiopteryx Giglio-Tos, 1915

Jantsch (1991) described Eumiopteryx magna on the basis of two males from Serra Norte, Pará state, Brazil. Examination of the holotype and paratype ( Fig. 3 a–c) reveals it to be a valid species, although referable instead to the closely related genus Anamiopteryx (based on the presence of more robust pronotal tubercles). Accordingly, we here establish the following combination:

Anamiopteryx magna ( Jantsch, 1991) n. comb. Eumiopteryx magna Jantsch, 1991
