Anacharoides rufa (Kieffer)

Coelonychia rufa Kieffer, 1912: 451

The holotype of this species, deposited in MNHN, has been lost (Quinlan 1979; Frank Koch, pers. comm.). As stated under the Comments for A. pallida, a specimen determined as Coelonychia rufa is deposited in SAMC and bears a determination label that may have been written by Kieffer. If it can be established that the SAMC specimen was indeed determined by Kieffer, this specimen may serve as a neotype for A. rufa (Kieffer) . Further, the SAMC specimen determined as Coelonychia rufa is conspecific with Anacharoides pallida .
