Aulacorthum capilanoense Robinson 1969 = Amphorophora forbesi Richards 1959

The original description of Aulacorthum capilanoense , and specimens from Rubus spectabilis from various places and dates in British Columbia and Oregon, agree with a paratype of Amphorophora forbesi , decribed from R. spectabilis from Lulu Is, British Columbia. This species has an unusual combination of characters (rather large size, spiculose ventral side to head, steep­sided antennal tubercles, no rhinaria on antennal segment III, slightly swollen siphunculi and a rather hairy cauda), so its generic position is not certain.
