§ Exanticheira parthena ( Blackwelder, 1944)

Antichira parthena Blackwelder 1944: 241 View in CoL ( Brazil (NA))

= Antichira vidua Ohaus 1930: 140 ( Brazil) View in CoL - Soula 2005: 370 (syn. nov.)

Distribution. Brazil (NA): Ohaus 1930: 140 (as Antichira vidua ) (NA); Machatschke 1972: 69 (as Anticheira parthena ); Soula 2005: 370 (NA). Other: Blackwelder 1944: 241 (Colombia - as Antichira parthena ); Soula 2005: 370 (Peru?).

Note. Soula (1998: 109) upholds the synonymy of Antichira vidua Ohaus, 1922 (p. 327) and A. parthena as proposed by Machatschke (1972: 69), while he places the species in the newly erected genus Exanticheira . He does, however, invoke the principle of priority and makes E. vidua the valid name, with E. parthena as its synonym. In Soula (2005: 369, 370) this synonymy is revoked and the names are again treated separately, with A. vidua Ohaus, 1930 once more becoming a homonym of E. vidua Ohaus, 1922 , and thus having E. parthena as its replacement name.
