BRAZIL: ♂, ZMHU, labels: [Petropolis | 23.II.99] [ Aulanota | sulcipennis | Type Mos] [ sulcipennis Mos ] [LECTOTYPE | Aulanota | sulcipennis | Moser, 1924 | ♂ | des. J. Fuhrmann & | F.Z. Vaz-de-Mello, 2014] .

Remarks

The new replacement name Philochloenia armata nom. nov. is hereby erected for Aulanota sulcipennis to avoid the secondary homonymy with Philochloenia sulcipennis ( Moser, 1918) comb. nov. (described as Anoplosiagum sulcipenne ). See Discussion “Male morphology and nomenclature” (below) for more information about the new synonymy.
