Mohoaticus pteroacariphagus Mey, 2017
Guimaraesiella ( Mohoaticus) diaprepes ( Kellogg & Chapman, 1902: 158, pl. 13, fig. 4).
Mohoaticus pteroacariphagus Mey, 2017: 174 , fig. 98, pl. XVIII: figs 3–4. New synonymy.
Type host: Moho nobilis (Merrem, 1786) — Hawaii o-o .
Type locality: Hawaii .
Remarks. From the short description and partial illustration of the male genitalia of Mohoaticus pteroacariphagus Mey, 2017 , we consider this species to be a junior synonym of Guimaraesiella ( Mohoaticus) diaprepes ( Kellogg & Chapman, 1902) new synonymy, as no significant differences can be found between these two species. In our opinion, a putative validation of M. pteroacariphagus depends on a complete redescription of the type material.
