Genus Trichoprosopon Theobald

compressum subspecies mogilasium ( Joblotia mogilasia Dyar & Knab, 1907 ) Lectotype Ψ: Tabernilla, Canal Zone, Panama (USNM); designated by Stone (1944).

Knight & Stone (1977) indicated that Joblotia mogilasia was formally recognized as a subspecies of Tr. compressum by Stone (1944) and later afforded varietal status by Stone et al. (1959). This is incorrect as Stone (1944) unambiguously treated this nominal species as a variety of Tr. compressum . Because mogilasium was adopted (originally) as the valid name of a species prior to 1985, it is deemed to be subspecific with availability from its original publication (Article 45.6.4.1).

digitatum subspecies townsendi ( var. townsendi Stone, 1944 ). Holotype ♂: Boa Vista [previously in Fordlandia, currently Belterra], Rio Tapajós, Pará, Brazil (USNM).

Stone (1944) named and described townsendi as a variety of Tr. digitatum (Rondani) based on differential characters observed in four males and 14 females that comprise the type series. Because the name was proposed expressly for a varietal entity, it is deemed to be subspecific in accordance with ICZN Article 45.6.4.
