Hylaeogena cincta ( Waterhouse, 1889)

Pachyschelus cinctus Waterhouse, 1889: 149 .

Hylaeogena cincta: Hespenheide, 1974: 106 .

Hylaeogena circumciliata Cobos, 1967: 222 , syn. nov.

In comparing the type specimen of H. cincta from BMNH with type images of H. circumciliata from MNCN, no significant differences could be found, hence these two species are considered conspecific. This synonymy is also underscored by a high probability of distribution of the species throughout Central America. Specimens examined:

BMNH: 1 ex.: V. de Chiriqui, 3-4000 ft. Champion | Pachyschelus cinctus Type Waterh.; 1 ex.: V. de Chiriqui, 2-3000 ft. Champion.; 1 ex: Rio Maria Linda, 500 ft. Champion.

MNCN: 1 ex.: Mexico [h] | female [p, symbol] | Holotypus / A. Cobos [p, red label] | Ex Coleccion/ Dr. A. Cobos [p, yellow label] | Hylaeogena / circumciliata / nov. sp./ Holotipo [h]/ A. Cobos det. 195 [p] 9 [h] | MNCN/ Cat. Tipos N° [p]/ 2117 [h] [red label] | MNCN_Ent/ N° Cat. 56860 [p].
