Genus Pseudopterogramma Papp, 2008

Pseudopterogramma Papp, 2008a:99 (neuter, erroneously given as feminine in the original description). Type species P. siamensis Papp, 2008 , original designation. – PAPP (2008a): 99 –102 [diagnosis, key, illustr.].

Note. PAPP (2008b) erected the new genus Pseudopterogramma for Pterogramma insulare Papp, 1972 and one new

Oriental species, without consideration of the other Pacific and Oriental species previously treated as Pterogramma beyond mentioning that “ Leptocera (Poecilosomella) conica Richards ... may belong here”, and without recognising that SMITH & MARSHALL (2004) treated P. insulare and P. conicum as part of the same undescribed genus, along with P. deemingi , P. brevivenosum , P. annectens , and P. aestivale . We here treat P. annectens ( Richards, 1964) , P.

brevivenosum ( Tenorio, 1967) , and P. conicum ( Richards, 1946) as new combinations in Pseudopterogramma , while recognising that this entire group needs to be revised (see also notes under Pterogramma ).
