In addition, the surface of the disc of the scutellum also has the punctation denser and more pronounced than in <i>Engistoneura</i> and the distinctive wing pattern leave no doubt as to its identity with <i>Peltacanthina</i>. The species is, therefore, removed from the genus <i>Engistoneura</i> and placed in new combination with <i>Peltacanthina</i> (<i>Peltacanthina</i>). As Bezzi did not allocate a holotype and no type labels of any kind are appended to it, the examined syntype is here selected and designated as lectotype.</p> |
