2 male syntypes, same locality as previous: " BOLIVIA \ Yungas \ Incachaca \ (2100 Mtr.) \ Dirings[hofen collection] \ [reverse] 15.X. [19] 57 ", "[red label] Cotype", " Achantomedes \ flavocephala \ n.sp. Fonseca \ [reverse] det. J.P. Fonseca", "[J. P. Fonseca’s handwriting] Achantomedes \ flavocephala \ n.sp. \ [reverse] det. J. P. Fonseca". First male: double-mounted on minuten, head missing, posterior process of pronotum broken, lacking the distal tip. Second male: posterior process broken at the tip, left forewing missing, left mesothoracic leg lacking tarsomeres, right metathoracic leg broken distal to trochanter.

Remarks. Fonseca and Diringshofen (1974a) originally designated three male syntypes. However, three males and one female were labeled as types. The female specimen is therefore not considered part of the type-series.
