variegatus (Girault) , comb.n., stat.rev.

Epomphaloides variegatum Girault 1915 [230]: 252. Holotype Ψ, Gordonvale, near Cairns, Queensland, (QM Hy2630) [examined].

Tetrastichodes kochi Girault 1935 [445]: 4. Unnecessary substitute name. Girault (1935) transferred E. variegatus to Tetrastichodes , and supplied the replacement name T. kochi as variegatus was preoccupied. Although not specifically stated, he could only have thought that the homonymy was caused due to his considering that S. varigatus properly belonged in Tetrastichodes (see Dahms, 1986: 624, 625-6 under Epomphaloides variegatum and Selitrichodes varigatus ). As varigatus and variegatus must be considered as distinct names which do not compete for homonomy, kochi becomes an unnecessary substitute name.
