Engytatus kahakai (Asquith) comb. n.

Cyrtopeltis kahakai Asquith, 1993: 17.

Discussion.

In his description of C. kahakai, Asquith (1993) did not provide a subgeneric placement within Cyrtopeltis or otherwise discuss his generic assignment. In the assessment of the author, C. kahakai is clearly congeneric with the remainder of the endemic Hawaiian dicyphine radiation, all other members of which were assigned to the genus Engytatus when the latter group was elevated from subgeneric to generic status by Cassis (1986). The current nomenclatural adjustment thus aligns the species binomial with current taxonomy.
