Cyphostethoides

KASZAB (1979: 273) described Cyphostethoides , a new subgenus of Cyphostethe , for the following species: C.angulosicolle CHOBAUT, 1924 , C.brunnea KASZAB, 1962 , C. brunneoides KASZAB, 1979 , C. grombczewskii (SEMENOV, 1890) , C. heydeni (HAAG-RUTENBERG, 1877) , C. komarowii (REITTER, 1889) , and C. semenovi BOGATCHEV, 1947 . MERKL (1991) added another new species, C. jelineki . Both KASZAB and MERKL failed to designate a type species. The original description given by KASZAB (1970: 273) characterizes the group. We fix the name Cyphostethoides by the designation of Cyphostethe brunnea KASZAB, 1962 as its type species.
