REMARKS: The type material of U. chubbi briodi and U. jutrzenkai was found to be morphologically indistinguishable and therefore conspecific with nontype material of U. vittatus from across the known distribution of the species, on the basis of which the former is newly synonymized, and the synonymy of the latter, by Hewitt (1918) and Newlands (1970), confirmed: Uroplectes chubbi briodi Schenkel, 1932 = Uroplectes vittatus ( Thorell, 1876) , new synonym; Uroplectes jutrzenkai Penther, 1900 = Uroplectes vittatus ( Thorell, 1876) .
