Treatment

26. Chalepistes tenebricus (Broun, 1893) View in CoL new combination

Catoptes tenebricus Broun, 1893b:1194 View in CoL

Catoptes aemulator Broun, 1893b:1193 View in CoL new synonym

Irenimus aemulator (Broun) View in CoL ; Barratt & Kuschel, 1996:372, Barratt et al., 1998:56

Catoptes argentalis Broun, 1914:208 View in CoL new synonym

Although C. aemulator View in CoL has been used as a valid name previously, C. tenebricus View in CoL is chosen as the senior name, as the holotype of C. aemulator View in CoL is a teneral specimen and critical characters are not fully developed. The vestiture of C. argentalis View in CoL is quite different in colour, shape and appearance from that of C. tenebricus View in CoL ; however no clear structural characters exist to reliably separate the two.
