Platyrrhacus aequatorialis Brölemann, 1900: 121 , Pl. VIII fig. 106–109 (original description; preoccupied name).

Platyrhacus aequinoctius Attems, 1914: 249 , 254 (new name; in dichotomous key).

Platyrrhacus cyrtorhabdus Brölemann, 1919: 261 (new name; diagnostic notes; synonymized in Jeekel 1963: 89).

Platyrhacus (Tirodesmus) aequinoctius: Attems 1938: 230 , 238 (combination; description; in dichotomous key).

Types: ♂ and ♀ syntypes from Ecuador: Quito ? Material originally deposited at the MNHN, we could not confirm its current state; it is not listed in their on-line database.

Distribution: no certain information other than Ecuador.

Comments: Brölemann (1919) proposed the name P. cyrtorhabdus for his P. aequatorialis to resolve the homonymy with P. aequatorialis Silvestri , an action made five years earlier by Attems (1914), who named it P. aequinoctius .
