Cobalopsis brema E. Bell, 1959 is a junior subjective synonym of Eutus rastaca ( Schaus, 1902)

Known from a single male holotype, Cobalopsis brema E. Bell, 1959 and from a number of females, Eutus rastaca ( Schaus, 1902) are sisters in the genomic tree ( Fig. 13 ), and the COI barcodes of their primary type specimens are 100% identical. All these specimens are from southeastern Brazil and likely represent same species. Therefore, the name for this species is rastaca , and Cobalopsis brema E. Bell, 1959 , becomes its new junior subjective synonym.
