Sinchocoriscurrently contains two species, S. colombiensis Dougherty, 1995( Figs. 6–9) and S. panamensis Dougherty, 1995( Figs. 10–13) ( Dougherty 1995, Gil-Santana et al. 2015). The specific names of the above two species were not spelled uniformly by Dougherty (1995). The names occurred invariably as S. colombiensisand S. panamensisin the text, but they were spelled as S. colombiaensisand S. panamaensisin the captions of her figs. 18 and 19B–E. The latter spellings appear also on the type labels of the respective holotypes( Figs. 7, 11). The spellings S. colombiensisand S. panamensisare hereby fixed as the correct original spelling acting as First Reviser (ICZN, Art. 24.2.3).
Dougherty (1995)claimed that a fringe of setae and papillae is present on the middle tibia of Sinchocorisspecies. A re-examination of photos of the holotypesof these two species ( Figs. 8–9, 12–13) revealed that a fringe of setae is present only in the middle femora of S. panamensis( Figs. 12–13), while in S. colombiensis, although the middle femora have numerous long scattered setae in all surfaces ( Figs. 8–9), there is not an evident ventral fringe of setae. The papillae are restricted approximately to the basal third of the middle tibiae in both species, but are somewhat more numerous in S. panamensis( Fig. 13) than in S. colombiensis( Fig. 9).
