Comments: We have examined the types series of A. chilotides Newton, 2017, housed in NHMW. The holotype and paratypes all belong to A. excisa (Schaufuss, 1880), a species we recently revised (Kurbatov et al., 2018). Therefore, we here place A. chilotides Newton, 2017 as a junior synonym of Achilia excisa (Schaufuss, 1880) (syn. nov.).
